Forecasts

Sophie Olivia (6/4), Song Saa (2/1), Sparkling River (7/2), Caraline (7/1)

Verdict

It's perfectly feasible that Noel George will keep things relatively simple aboard the top-weight Song Saa and seek to make all aboard his in-form mount. However, she'll need to see out every yard of the trip at this testing track and there's just a nagging doubt that she's best suited by racing right-handed. Therefore, in an otherwise weak race she's taken on with the Hexham scorer SOPHIE OLIVIA. She picked up nicely from off the pace when making a winning chasing debut (16/1) in October, and retains scope for further success from an 8lb higher mark.
