In depth

Verdict

Placed in all five outings so far, SAINT OF KATOWICE was well beaten in a handicap at Newmarket last time but should go close back at this level if running up to a mark of 77. He’s preferred to stablemate Itwouldberudenotto and Reggino though Dandy's Angel may do better over today’s longer trip. Of the newcomers, Villa Paloma is related to a host of winners and makes more appeal than stable companion Hajey while High Accolade is another to note with James Tate’s yard remaining in good form.
