Verdict

SALIGO BAY has won around here and scored on the Flat at Windsor in May. He was runner-up in a Huntingdon claimer a couple of weeks ago and though rated 23lb below Hiaou has the advantage of a recent run. The latter, a winner at Punchestown for Gordon Elliott, didn't make the expected improvement and was beaten a long way when tried over fences at Leopardstown in March. Laser Focus ran well in a Stratford seller earlier but disappointed last time.
