SNAN has won twice over 1m6f and looks the safest bet in this. He’s upped 5lb for his latest success at Haydock and is preferred to the maiden winners Rasmiya and Bachelorhood, who both step up in trip. The former shares ownership with the selection and scored in soft ground at Bath while the latter made a winning start at Hamilton over 1m1f. Clear Evidence has yet to win anywhere and was still well beaten when runner-up here in June.
