    Verdict

    Sahara Legend is bound to be popular with backers having run with credit on both starts since joining Jonjo O'Neill and has to be respected but he may not represent much in the way of value and it may pay to look elsewhere with preference for Wotashambles who gets the vote ahead of Friendly Request. The last mentioned has claims on the form shown when successful at Market Rasen in May and it is to be hoped that she is none the worse for her tumble at Worcester last time. Brendan's Surprise has given little cause for optimism of late, while Battlefield has yet to prove that he handles ground this soft. Joke Club and point-to-point winner He's A Dinger are others to consider but the vote goes to Wotashambles. The selection was good value for his win at Towcester last month and is taken to defy the 10lb rise for that success.
