In depth
Verdict
Saskia's Dream and Queen Aggie are usually thereabouts without winning but the handicapper refuses to relent with either. Saved My Bacon won easily over track and trip last time but this is much tougher while Medam's recent second at Wolverhampton also came in a lower grade race. SAKHEE'S ROSE (NAP) went close to following a victory at Wolverhampton when beaten only a nose at Kempton last month. Ed McMahon's mare should be in the firing-line once again and gets the vote.
