Verdict

Well Mett is unexposed but has been put up 7lb following recent seconds at Plumpton and Warwick and may have to settle for a place again here. Sawpit Samba steps up in trip after finishing third over 2m1f at Hereford but there are possibilities about Another Miracle, a winner here last year, if he's forgiven a woeful effort when odds-on at Ayr last time. Held up well off the pace over 3m2f here last time, ELEGANT OLIVE never threatened and was soon tailed off. That was a rare poor run at the track for Roger Curtis' mare and should could easily bounce back over this shorter distance if given a more positive ride. Cool Steel could be best of the rest.
