Verdict
Sacco D'Oro is well treated off the bottom perch and arrives in form after scoring a game Sedgefield success last time but this trip has to be a concern at such a testing track. Preference is for dual course winner CECILY PARSLEY. Hughie Morrison's charge remains lightly-raced, open to further progress and certainly looks to inhabit an attractive handicap mark. She warmed up pleasingly for this assignment when third on the Flat last month and has few miles on the clock over fences for her highly talented handler. Bravo Riquet and Duneen Point remain closely matched on their running here last time and both should play a role in the outcome now, likewise the consistent Burnthill who brings sound place claims to the table.
