SAHARIA went close at Sandown on his latest start and the C&D winner looks up to winning off his current mark. Fastnet Storm is another to consider as he found only one too good at Pontefract last week and Satwa Laird is only 1lb higher than when scoring over 7f here last month with an apprentice's claim taken into account. Knowe Head is not easily dismissed in this grade and Elkhart's latest effort was to bad to be true as he'd won at Newmarket on his penultimate start.
