Verdict
SAHREEJ stands out in the opener having finished a close-up fourth in a decent maiden at Newmarket a fortnight ago. He beat a subsequent winner on that occasion and should have the measure of Doncaster third Twisting Hay in this. The latter still looks the biggest threat despite Addicted To Luck finishing a bit closer last time while Underdressed, who can include winning sprinter Gung Ho Jack among her relatives, is preferred to Arthur's Choice of the newcomers.
