    Verdict

    SADMA was heavily eased when sixth to Electrolyser over course and distance two weeks ago but still finished ahead of Torero and Spartilla. He will have learned plenty from that run and can improve past the likes of Sirop De Menthe and Berkeley Avenue. The latter's stablemate, Chase The Wind, had useful bumper form but was well beaten on his hurdles bow at Newbury. Minority Interest won four times on the Flat up to 1m3f but was at his best on fast ground and is best watched after a break while The Stig couldn't cope with a penalty at Huntingdon last time.
