Verdict

OFFBEAT SAFARIS' second to Fathsta in a claimer over this trip at Epsom in July looks the best form on offer here and he can be another winner for the in-form Ron Harris yard. The trainer also has Swift Act in the line-up and she's another with claims while Barista won this 12 months ago and was taking on better opposition when fourth over track and trip last time. The three-year-olds Lucifers Shadow, Emma Jean and Kashmiri Star all have a win to their name this year but have extra to carry as a result.
