Verdict
Sandabar at least visited the winners¿ enclosure last term and has a good chance of doing so again. He is returning after a long break though and his fitness has to be taken on trust, although his locally based trainer would not risk him if he were not ready for the challenge. Tiger Talk can chase him home.
