Sahara Legend, Gee Aker Malayo and Shannonvale are three against the field in as another open contest and the tentative vote is given to Sahara Legend. The selection was a fair seventh behind Russian Sky last time out and with the step up in trip likely to bring about more improvement he looks a value bet in an open affair. Gee Aker Malayo rates the main danger but he is rising in the weights without winning and he looks opposable on that basis. Shannonvale would have a chance on his best for m but the fact that he has been pulled up in three of his last four starts means he can not be put forward with any confidence. Battlefield was a fair second behind Pauntly Gofa he will not mind the ground and could go well at a price. Of the remainder Tsars Twist has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price now he has dropped to a handy mark but in a race where few can be ruled out for the winner we return to Sahara Legend to small stakes.
