This won't take much winning and SINBAD THE SAILOR, twice a winner on Polytrack as well as over hurdles, wasn't beaten far over course and distance off a pound higher mark in July. George Baker's charge makes more appeal than Steely, beaten again when favourite at Kempton 10 days ago. Mister Carter also appears to be treading water off his current mark while Wolverhampton third Divea has her stamina to prove. Man From Seville has gone backwards since winning a maiden handicap at Redcar in the spring but Proud Times was out of his depth at Southwell last time and may fare better here.
