Verdict
SAZERAK was well backed when third over 1m4f at Wetherby in December. He should sty this longer trip and looks the one to beat with that run under his belt. Flexi Furlough was only fourth of six at Market Rasen but is another likely improver. Peter Niven has booked Brian Hughes for his Sulamani newcomer Misty Mani while Grey Frontieres, Simplystic and Charlottes Way all showed some ability between the flags.
