Verdict
St Saviour and Reetaj are closely matched on handicap ratings, though the latter has the best recent form with a second at Lingfield. But AD DABARAN is taken to improve past both in this as he steps up in distance having shown plenty of progress at Kempton last time - Charlie Appleby's colt gets the nod. Major Franko was tailed off on his recent debut and makes no appeal.
