      Verdict

      ERIK THE RED has attempted to make all on his last two starts and only just failed. He looks capable of making more progress and will be difficult to pass. William Haggas continues to fire in the winners so Saraha has to be respected despite not having run since making a promising debut at Newmarket in December. The long absence is an obvious concern though she wouldn't be making the long journey without good reason. Samsonite looked a bit one-paced at Beverley but Mujaaher found 1m2f stretching his stamina at Wetherby after looking a threat at this trip.
