Intriguing Glimpse, Bluebok, Further Outlook and Sahara Silk look the most promising in the opener with the vote going to the last named. Sahara Silk won back to back races at Beverley and Musselburgh back in June and came good again last time out at Hamilton when defeating Frascati by half a length and although five pounds higher in the weights he still looks one step ahead of the handicapper. Intriguing Glimpse has been running consistently well all season and got his head in front last time out at Brighton over the five furlongs and with confidence on a high can run well again. As can Bluebok who comes from a yard in form and if reproducing his best will go well. Further Outlook ran well at Newbury to finish a close second and is again worth noting in the market. But for the winner we return to Sahara Silk.
