    Verdict

    Oh So Saucy can land her hat-trick in the finale at the expense of Coup d¿Etat and Isphahan. The selection has been in winning form at Yarmouth and Leicester recently going up eighteen pounds in the weights as a consequence. She has shown a vast improvement on last years form and connections have once again picked an ideal race in which she has every chance of winning once more if she produces her best. Coup d¿Etat is trained locally and caught the eye when fourth to Willow Dancer at Bath last time out suggesting he is returning to form so will be one to note in the market. Isphahan is another worth noting after finishing second of sixteen in a competitive handicap at Salisbury last time out and is ridden by David Probert who claims a valuable seven and is a much improved rider this season and is a jockey to note for the future. But for the winner we return to Oh So Saucy.
