There was lots to like about the way SAGEBURG COUNTY won on debut over fences at Market Rasen. He had reached a decent level of form over hurdles without winning but this former Irish point winner was always going to be suited by the switch to this discipline and he stayed on strongly to get nicely on top late. We haven’t seen him since but he has undergone wind surgery over the summer and he is open to plenty of improvement yet.

It will be interesting to see what the market makes of him but I am confident of a big run. Master Malcolm was on the up when last seen winning his last two and looks the danger despite a further 8lb rise. Hartur D’oudairies is another one to note being so lightly raced.

Sageburg County - 1pt
