Verdict

BRIGHTON VIEW won a small-field event at Yarmouth in good fashion on Sunday and William Knight's progressive colt can follow up over this shorter trip. Saxophonist is holding his form well and can prove the biggest threat ahead of Relentless Hero.

1	Made a winning handicap debut at Newbury (1¼m) in May and confirmed himself as still on the upgrade when readily landing the odds in a 3-runner event at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) 6 days ago. Will prove at least as effective at further but makes appeal to follow up under a penalty. 1st Pick 1 Brighton View Jockey: Oisin Murphy Trainer: William Knight J: Oisin Murphy T: William Knight	100	-	-	-	84%

Should be in the mix again. 2nd Pick 4 Saxophonist (Ire) Jockey: Daniel Tudhope Trainer: David O'meara J: Daniel Tudhope T: David O'meara	97	-	-	-	25%

3	Ulysses gelding who made all to get off the mark at the fourth attempt in a 1¼m Lingfield maiden (heavy) in June. Folded as if amiss on his handicap debut at Chester (12.3f) later that month, so will need to bounce back for all it remains early days for him. 3rd Pick 3 Relentless Hero Jockey: C. T.
