A poor start to proceedings but SARTORI has raced against better opposition and his placed efforts at Pontefract and Lingfield in May would be good enough. With David O'Meara's yard in unstoppable form, Song Of Rowland could provide the main threat despite finishing last in a nursery here last time as he finished runner-up on his only start in this lowly grade at York. Black Treacle carries a penalty for landing a Beverley claimer but has been beaten twice when strongly fancied in similar grade at Wolverhampton. Dizzy Miss Lizzy is a rare runner at this level for Richard Hannon but she's shown nothing so far.
