SAAHEQ was a most impressive winner at Doncaster and he is fancied to double up despite being turned out quickly under a 6lb penalty here. Kasbah was just touched off at Bath latest and has to be respected off the same mark. Operative won this race last year and is off a lower mark this time around although recent form isn't overly persuasive.
