Verdict
SARKHA got off the mark when successful at Lingfield last month in first-time cheekpieces. He looks worth another try over this longer trip with the aids remaining in place. Isle of Wolves is regularly in the mix and is tried in blinkers while Further Measure placed at Bath and an apprentice takes 3lb off his back. Eagle One returns to action fitted with a tongue-tie having switched yards since last in action.
