Verdict

It's not too often that you will see Group horses running in selling company but Enroller, who won the John Porter Stakes at Newbury in 2009, takes his chance and Willie Muir's charge is unlikely to be hanging around at the release of the tapes. American Art was a prolific performer in claimers and sellers last year but he has a sizeable absence to overcome on this occasion and there are a couple of questions to answer on the going. With that in mind, a chance is taken on SAUTE. The six-year-old scored three times last season but has been dropped into selling grade for the first time having posted two disappointing runs. Leopard Hills has paid his way in this company in the past though he looks up against it taking on this calibre of opposition.
