oddschecker Verdict
SAXOPHONIST makes some appeal now stepped up to 1m2f for the first time. His latest effort at Hamilton wasn't a poor one, despite finishing last of three, and he looked to be crying out for further when a never-nearer third at Doncaster over a mile before that. Roc De Fer must be taken seriously on his handicap bow given his profile for these connections, and What's The Plan is another to respect.
Prediction: 1st Saxophonist, 2nd Roc De Fer, 3rd Whats The Plan
