Verdict

Sarraaf should not find this too difficult to win and his main danger looks to be stablemate Answered Promise and possibly the ex-Irish trained Culcabock. The selection has been running consistently well all season and towers above these on form shown and on official ratings. It would be a surprise to see him beat and the value could be finding a horse for the forecast. Answered Promise is not the force he was of old when winning twice last season and has generally been disappointing. A change of stable did not help his fortunes and has since returned to Ian Semple. He will need to show improved form to challenge the selection but could be the one for the forecast. Culcabock put up a few decent performances in his native Ireland before recently joining Peter Monteith. He showed little on his English debut and is probably best watched at this stage of his career especially with the fast ground looking not to his liking. Sarraaf is the call then with Answered Promise to chase him home for the forecast.
