Verdict
EMISSAIRE attracted good support on his debut at Ayr and was always travelling strongly on the heavy ground. He has a penalty to carry so Orkan, who finished fifth, should get closer without reversing the form. Sai Kung Sing didn't run badly at Doncaster and will have come on for the experience though one of the newcomers could prove more of a threat. Gold Fields is by Sakhee and a half-brother to six winners though it's He's O Goer, a son of Yeats who has travelled a long way for this, who looks more interesting though the market should tell us more.
