An interesting looking bumper concludes the card where SARGASSO lands the vote marginally ahead Gemini Ahhs and Nicky Henderson's newcomer Shakalakaboomboom. The selection looked booked in to win his debut run before jinking and unseating his pilot very late in that race. The same jockey has the ride again and will sure to be hanging on to this flat bred horse right to the end to what should be a victory. Gemini Ahhs has shown promise in two starts so far and looks capable of landing one of these in time, however, the form from those runs look weak. Shakalakaboomboom is entitled to go well on debut related to a bumper winner though the suspicion is he'll be at his best once taken jumping. With so many unraced runners in the field a market check is advised but without it Sargasso looks primed to score.
