SAEER failed to threaten when third in novice company at Chester on his belated comeback. But Sir Michael Stoute’s charge will be sharper today and should also improve now handicapping. Songo finished ahead of Kybosh when scoring here early in the year and has won at Bath subsequently while Bealach finished closer at Lingfield last week having tumbled down the weights. O'reilly's Pass showed major improvement on the Turf at Lingfield recently but Whitehaven is upped in class having won a classified contest last time.
