      Verdict

      SITAR (NAP) has record both victories so far over course and distance on ground with some give. She’s up another 5lb but will probably take some stopping as Culloden has done all of his winning at a lower level, though Manuel Fernandes’ claim will again be a plus. Operative hasn’t raced over 5f since his debut but might be suited and he finished ahead of Ambitious Icarus over 6f at Leicester last time. Classic Pursuit may be best of the rest.
