Sakabula is nominated in favour of Wovoka and Mujood. Giles Bravery is no stranger to sending out speedy juveniles and while Sakabula is bred to appreciate further in time, he is a likeable sort who can take this race en route to better things. Wovoka has had plenty of racing this term and will be staying on in the shadow of the post. Mujood appeared to appreciate first time blinkers but can ill afford to repeat a succession of slow starts that have blighted his cards. He does though hold Musical Guest on a strict line of form. This is an easier opportunity than Montzando's most recent start at Goodwood and the faster ground will doubtless suit. Sakabula has much in his favour and we will recommend him this evening.
