Verdict
Sarvan has been in good form on the all-weather and bids for a hat-trick raised 5lb while Pride Of America has been rejuvenated by a switch of yards and placed in Class 2 company at Pontefract last month. But PRIDE OF PRIORY showed good progress last term and having easily beaten Fairmac in a match at Haydock on his handicap debut, the Haggas charge gets the vote. Enfranchise went close at Brighton recently while Enigmatic and Diderot step up in trip and Desert Emperor has been thereabouts over 1m4f.
