Verdict

Clear at the weights on today's terms, SAHARIA is hard to oppose in this. He's been making hay in similar company this year and landed a hat-trick with a four length victory at Lingfield last time. Aciano looks next best as he reverts to the Flat having been well beaten over hurdles recently while Satwa Laird drops in class after failing to figure in handicaps despite slipping down the weights. Shomberg and Mr Opulence are hard to fancy on what little they've shown of late.
