Sanaadh won last year’s renewal and beat both Diocles Of Rome and Rathbone when scoring again over track and trip last month. Revolutionise beat Lord Of The Lodge and Beat Le Bon in a conditions race at Wolverhampton recently and is preferred to stablemate Lord Rapscallion. He can figure again but both Edraak and Tadleel are upped in class on the back of recent victories. Formerly with Andre Fabre in France, REPERTOIRE (NAP) made short work of the opposition when landing the odds in novice company at Wolverhampton on his debut for David Simcock. He still has plenty of scope and looks the one to side with.
