Verdict

Didn't You Know, Saby and Better Moment are the three to concentrate on here and the vote is given to Didn't You Know. The selection ran well last time over this course and distance on her handicap debut when third behind Goss. Although she might be ideally served by a stiffer test of stamina, nominal improvement from that most recent effort would make her hard to beat. Saby has been running with credit over the bigger obstacles and he looks to be well-treated on the pick of his hurdles form. He should run his race but we think he will find at least one too good. Better Moment was well-beaten at Worcester last time but he is a course and distance winner and on his best form he would hold strong claims today. However, he will need to show a little more before he gets our support. Saorsie is probably the best of the remainder, but for the winner we are happy to stick with Didn't You Know.
