Verdict
Saoi should go well again having won a higher grade contest at Ffos Las recently. Brigadoon is another to consider on his latest second at Thirsk but it could be the turn of RIO'S ROSANNA (NAP) today. She started the season on a 8lb higher mark and finished five lengths clear of a subsequent winner when third at Pontefract last time. Arizona John and Northside Prince are usually thereabouts without being good enough to win while Bayan Kasirga and Mambo Rhythm remain 6lb higher than their latest victories.
