Verdict

Premier Sagas can reverse last month's course and distance running with Turtle Cask on 5lb better terms - the latter was been well beaten when favourite at Ayr nine days ago. Hellorboston is only 4lb higher than when winning at Bangor at this time last year but hasn't raced since June. Snowed In has been in decent form but is possibly a few pounds too high now while Getabuzz has struggled this season, though is eased in grade today. STILO BLUE NATIVE briefly had Aqalim in trouble here last month on his first start for John Wade. He makes his handicap debut today and appears to have more scope than most of these.
