Sadma bounced back from several disappointing efforts to win a similar contest at Chepstow last month. Nick Lampard's grey is only 2lb higher here and William Featherstone again takes off 7lb so he should again beat fourth Haverstock but Oscar Jane was leading in that race when falling two out and appeared to be travelling best at the time. Native Display is tried in headgear but hasn't shown much so far over timber while Warrant Officer isn't getting any closer. The three-year-old DYLAN'S STORM should do better now going handicapping and Aidan Coleman looks a significant jockey booking as he tackles older horses for the first time.
