Verdict
SAX APPEAL has been revitalised by the application of blinkers, registering back-to-back victories over this sort of trip at Wolverhampton in recent weeks, and he looks up to completing the hat-trick. David Simcock's fellow in-form pair Charlie's Choice and Hitched can provide chief resistance.

Verdict14/1, not seen to best effect after 3 months off when 12 lengths last of 9 to Sax Appeal in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 17 days ago, denied a run over 2f out and never dangerous. Better showing anticipated.

VerdictSeventh of 9 in handicap at Kempton (16f, 12/1) 37 days ago, no extra final 1f. Step back down in trip a likely plus now but others appeal that bit more for win purposes.- Unnamed Favourite
