Verdict

This looks an open contest but the unexposed SARTORIAL ELEGANCE may well have won last time out when unseating at the fourth last fence and he can make amends here. Sarouque has conditions to suit and should run well off his light weight and Onderun still has plenty improvement to come and should go close with a clear round. 1. Sartorial Elegance 2. Saroque 3. Onderun
