Safwah, Montrachet and Nadawat are the three to consider her with Safwa getting the vote. After scoring twice this summer, Montrachet has run creditably in two defeats since. However, his handicap mark may now be prohibitive and others may be better treated. Nadawat is one to beware of. Although a disappointing favourite at Pontefract over six furlongs last time, he will be more at home over this longer trip and can be seen to better effect. He won over this trip at Lingfield this summer and can go well. Safwa won a Sandown maiden before coming unstuck in a good Sandown handicap last time. However, by Green Desert out of a Nashwan mare she is beautifully bread and with the yard going well, Safwa can resume winning ways.
