Verdict

This looks to be a good opportunity for African Sahara to gain compensation for a near miss at Doncaster last time and he is taken to hold too much for the likes of Stallone and Hartshead if this develops into a dash for the line. The selection would be giving plenty of weight away to all bar Retirement if this were a handicap and, as that rival has shown little in his two outings this term, he should be able to make the most of his chance to exploit the terms of the race. Stallone has the ability to go close but is an unpredictable sort. So Hartshead, who is still open to improvement, is taken to give African Sahara the most to think about.
