Verdict
SALIGO BAY was still showing signs of inexperience when turned over by a 40/1 chance on his second start at Plumpton but he clearly has ability and might be more the finished article today. Nicky Henderson’s Rathmacknee is sure to be popular as he’s won a point and placed in a bumper and will have had plenty of schooling. Extraordinary Man has placed here and at Chepstow this season but turned in a shocker at Leicester last time and looks a bit more exposed than his likely market rivals. Haas Boy makes his hurdling debut but is worth a market check.
