Verdict

ALEEF beat Samovar when winning a tougher sprint than this over course and distance last week. A penalty is negated by George Rooke’s allowance and he can go in again. Samovar should be thereabouts again while Red Stripes also arrives in good form having won a couple of lower grade races over track and trip. Exalted Angel and Rasheeq are both proven on the surface as they return from lay-offs with the former preferred at this level but Six Strings and King Robert look high enough in the weights.
