Verdict
Moscow Oznick only won by half-a-length here over 1m6f last month and has more to do off a 3lb higher mark today in a race taken to go to SAUTE, who can gain a well deserved success and reverse running with David Donovan's gelding who he meets on 2lb better terms. Tim Vaughan's Erdeli ran better at Chepstow last time and has claims on that effort but he has disappointed in two previous starts on the Polytrack so cannot be backed with confidence and of more interest may be Leyte Gulf. Chris Bealby's gelding is 4lb lower than when scoring here in January but he has not shown much in two recent outings. Roger Fisher's Rare Coincidence bounced back to winning ways over hurdles at Cartmel last month and could be of interest back on the level but he does not have as obvious claims as Saute.
