It's difficult to separate these though Saranta ran her best race to date on Polytrack last time. Stanarley Pic hasn't proved himself on fast ground but would have a real chance if the going eases and Zanouska is only 2lb higher than her victory over the course and distance. Mister Uno's only success came here but he shot up the weights as a consequence and hasn't been able to cope on his last two starts. INCURS FOUR FAULTS won over a shorter trip here in July and struggled in subsequent starts in better company than this. The assessor has relaxed his grip and Graham Lee can steer him to another victory.
