Saragann has been in good form of late he was a good second behind Percy Parkeeper last time out and he will be very hard to beat with conditions again in his favour. Minster York looks the main danger he to will love the ground and was a good second behind Flaxley Wood last time out and with the champion Tony McCoy on board he will not be far away. Ei Ei will make a bold bid to make all the running but may find one or two to strong in the closing stages. Kassala was behind Saragann last time out and there is no reason why they should reverse placing on these terms. Xaipete is better on softer ground.
