Verdict
Saisons D'Or is back on a winning mark having landed this contest last year but KAAHIRA is less exposed. The latter placed in novice company at Southwell a fortnight ago behind a winner rated 82 and that form should see her go close in this grade now handicapping. Course regular Athollblair Boy had done most of his winning here and is preferred to Dandys Gold while Carnival Zain and Dogged return to action.
