Not a strong race and most of these would be more at home in selling company. At least Balakar comes into this in some sort of form having been too strong for Fifth Generation at Warwick. The fast ground seemed to bring about some improvement from Balakar, so there is every reason to believe he can follow up, especially as he is only 4lbs higher, in what looks a similar contest. Ellamine has a good record in sellers, winning three and placed twice from five outings. This is no better than that grade and she looks sure to go close. Saby has yet to convince, but there is every chance this fast ground will suit much better than the soft ground he has raced on to date.
