In depth

Verdict

Karakoram is still 4lb higher than when successful over 3m here in March but he may be coming to hand again judged on a third at Exeter. SAWPIT SIENA won over 2m here at the start of the year and is 2lb lower. She has won over 2m4f and is another who should be approaching peak fitness now. Hereford fourth Noble Savage also has claims while Ede‘iffs Rock is due a change of luck having found only one too good in her three starts to date over timber. Sinurita is preferred to Caspers Court of the remainder.
