Verdict

Verdict

Orange Emperor produced a better display when filling the runner-up spot over 7f at Salisbury and has to be taken seriously, but this looks a good opportunity for SAVANNAH SMILES to regain the winning thread. Grace Harris' inmate was far from disgraced in third behind a subsequent winner at Chepstow recently and a reproduction of that might be good enough. Blindfold Games is the pick of the remainder.

Top Tip: Savannah Smiles (1)
Watch out for: Orange Emperor (2)

ORANGE EMPEROR can shed his maiden tag. He gets to race off the same mark as when runner up last time and will appreciate the slight drop back in distance. My Dad Tom was disappointing on his turf return last time but is well treated on his AW form so looks a big threat. Top weight Savannah Smiles has returned to form on her last couple of outings and is also feared.
