Saved My Bacon is upped 4lb for winning a lower grade sprint over track and trip while Menelik finished ahead of previous winner Brother Tiger when narrowly beaten at Lingfield on his penultimate start and is not out of this. But EXCELLENT GEORGE found only Stepper Point too good in a tougher contest here last time and Stuart Williams’ charge gets the nod on that form racing here off the same mark. Both Fredricka and Fang went close before disappointing on their respective latest starts and are preferred to Interlink.
