      Verdict

      SALATEEN has had a busy summer on Turf and has been racing in strong company culminating in a fine effort when a close fourth behind Limato in the Group 2 Challenge Stakes at Newmarket. He's gone up 2lb for that but has the class to carry his big weight to another victory. Kimberella was around the same distance behind Limato in a Listed contest at York and has since run a cracking race in the 6f Coral Sprint Handicap there so he has to be greatly respected. The selection's stable companion Areen Heart won a Class 4 handicap here in September and will find this much tougher and though Charles Molson has been in cracking form all summer without winning the assessor has put him up 3lb for finishing second at Chelmsford on his penultimate start.
