In depth
Verdict
Stall five is probably a decent draw for the front-running Lingfield winner RED PHOENIX, who can shrug off a 5lb rise and complete a double. Budaiya Fort is likely to do better as a three-year-old and should appreciate the extra furlong while Simba Samba beat a previous winner at Newcastle on Friday and should make a bold bid to defy a penalty. Sybil Grand has twice finished runner-up at Wolverhampton recently while January’s Lingfield winner Rajman and the unexposed Dorchester are also worth a second glance.
