Verdict
Saintemilion is a regular here but hard to catch right and was well behind Molineaux and Admiral's Secret when that pair finished 1-2 over 2m here three weeks ago. The latter has won since at Leicester but is now 3lb worse off with Colin Tizzard’s charge. KAYF ADVENTURE, fitted with cheekpieces, is eased in grade and was only headed on the run-in at Ascot last month. His last win came over this course and distance off a pound higher so he can end his losing run.
