Saddlers Bend has won her last two races and should go make another bold bid, but will do well to confirm last month's Kempton running with runner-up RUSSIAN RAVE. The latter re-opposes on better terms today and will have come on for his first run of the year. Dualagi won at Bath last month and is unexposed over today's longer trip, while Greenflash is better than her latest run at Newmarket suggests. Chokurei, Hippique, Poyle Judy and Mantatisi are all maiden winners open to improvement and worthy of consideration.
