Verdict

SAYADAM was unsuited by the emphasis on speed in a modestly-run race on less testing ground at Uttoxeter last time, so with this step up in trip expected to suit, he's taken to resume winning ways. Course-bumper winner Hob House is much respected now going hurdling for his top yard, while previous winners Rocky Lake and Kayf Hernando also merit consideration.
