Verdict

It's good to see Peter Chapple-Hyam back in this country and his Toronto Heights can follow up his recent course and distance victory, with Sahara Silk and Head Of State selected as the main dangers. This son of King Of Kings was always in control when beating Saviours Spirit by a head in what appeared to be a decent looking maiden. He gets into the handicap here on a decent mark and will take all the beating. Sahara Silk hasn't raced here since her two-year-old debut but was most impressive when successful at Southwell last week. Head Of State also comes here on the back of a recent fibresand victory, he easily got the better of Bella Boy Zee in a modest handicap. He has shown decent form here as well so must be respected. Of the others Blade's Edge has shown bits and pieces of form but Toronto Heights looks on the upgrade and is taken to lead them home.
