Peponi failed to give his running in a maiden race last time but his earlier second over C&D to Lockantanks gives him the beating of both Prince Of Burma and Focail Eile. She Ain't A Saint has failed to build on her promising form on the Polytrack from early last year, although she's back on a winning mark now, while recent 7f winner April Fool is upped in class today and has the worst of the draw. SATWA LAIRD finished a respectable third on his return to action at Lingfield a fortnight ago and, despite not having won for some time, David Simcock's charge gets the vote here with his placed form on the turf last season good enough to land this.
