SAMAGON delivered a promising debut over 7f at Kempton last season, keeping on nicely from a fair way back. The rise in trip, coupled with natural progression, could see him into the winner’s enclosure on first run for this yard (Hugo Palmer has been among the winners in the past fortnight). The front two in the market have winners’ penalties and could be worth taking on with our selection.

WADI BANI has caught the eye in plenty of careers runs, most notably in an all-weather handicap at Chelmsford last time. The son of Oasis Dream wasn’t given a hard time once out in the clear after being hampered in that race, leaving the impression that he can win a similar event at this level. Look for him to travel strongly into the contest and have enough in the locker to reach the places.
