After an absolute disaster on debut SAVEIRO recovered to show all his ability last time and gets the nod over Cry Alot Boy and newcomer Gutter Lane. After unseating his rider soon after the start in a bumper the selection behaved much better last time out to show much more and land a runners up spot. The form from the race may yet to have been held up but he ran in a manner that shows a race like this is well within his scope and he's not got as much talent to beat this time. Cry Alot Boy is the only other in the race with real tangible form to go off with a win and place already on the CV. The latest, a third place of 11, came over a slightly shorter trip on good ground and while the race has produced winner since the rest of the form looks weak. Gutter Lane is well related to good bumper and hurdles performers and has to be considered on that while the same can be said for Wymott who comes from a yard in form but in a tricky race Saveiro has the verdict.
