Verdict
Sacchoandvanzetti was beaten five lengths by Presenting Pete over course and distance last month but is 5lb better off today and should get much closer. With rain forecast, conditions may yet turn in favour of RAGAMUFFIN, who gets the nod on a recent second at Worcester. Democritus won at Worcester last time and would also appreciate any easing of the ground while Neigh Botha showed some promise when trained in Ireland but may need more time.
