      Verdict

      SAHARIA wasn't unduly pressed to complete a double at Wolverhampton last month. A hat-trick looks on the cards for Daniel Loughnane's charge despite having a bit to find with Officer In Command on today's terms. The latter drops back in trip after a couple of placed efforts in plating company and has plenty in hand with Skidby Mill, a handicap winner over track and trip on his penultimate start. Both Copperwood and Menelik also face a tough task at the weights and are harder to fancy.
