In depth
Verdict
This is, effectively, a two-horse race with Fantastic Love, now that the Johnston stable is firing again, getting the nod over Mick Channon's Sahnour. The selection came up against a Loder hotpot last time but can make it third-time lucky here. He should certainly be able to cope with the step up in trip. The Johnston stable will have a line on the form of Sahnour as he finished behind one of theirs on his debut but, even so, the stable will have very high hopes of landing this.
