Mac Beattie should be approaching peak fitness and is one for the short-list here as is Tiermore, who is starting to look well handicapped. Sahrati won at Fontwell last month but was 12 lengths behind SUNNY SPELLS when Gary Moore's charge finished runner-up to Marju King at Uttoxeter subsequently. The winner is much improved so the form looks solid and the seven-year-old can go one better here. The Fox's Decree is normally consistent and his Worcester run should have blown away a few cobwebs while Doyenne Dream could be interesting off a low weight on her best form. It's difficult to fancy Ladies Best under a welter burden however.
