SABATINI is best served by the framing of this claimer and after scoring at Kempton in a similar race last time can follow up. Indian Valley is the best horse in the line-up based on the ratings and was thought good enough for listed company in the past. Although that was ultimately folly she did run well in defeat in handicap company last time and should improve for the drop in grade. Fonterutoli doesn't have much to find on these terms but has form to overturn on the selection, Sabatini.
