Verdict

SAXOPHONIC has unquestionably been a flop considering his pedigree and price tag, but left the impression a step up to 1¾m may prove beneficial at Ffos Las on his most recent outing and could be up to opening his account from a basement mark. Dinah Myte is unpenalised for last week's Leicester win so is an obvious threat if staying the longer trip, while Le Rouge Chinois has been placed on all 3 starts for his current yard and can continue in form.

9	Exposed as modest but he's eased to a basement mark and ran creditably once more in first-time cheekpieces (left off here) when fourth in 10-runner handicap at Ffos Las (1½m, good) 25 days ago, despite not being ideally placed. Well worth a try over this longer trip. 1st Pick 9 Saxophonic Jockey: Jack Dace Trainer: David Simcock J: Jack Dace T: David Simcock	100	-	-	-	25%

4	Proved better than ever when recording a third career win in 9-runner handicap (11/2) at Leicester (1¼m, good) last week. Unpenalised for that success, so obvious player if seeing out the longer trip. 2nd Pick 4 Dinah Myte Jockey: William Pyle Trainer: John Gallagher J: William Pyle T: John Gallagher	99	-	-	-	17%

1	Responded well to a switch of headgear when ending a losing run at Pornichet (15.4f) in March for Adam West in France. Disappointed on final 2 starts for that yard but in good form since returning for new stable, placed for a third consecutive start at Southwell (1¾m) 15 days ago. Respected. 3rd Pick 1 Le Rouge Chinois (Den) Jockey: Oisin Murphy Trainer: Michael Appleby J: Oisin Murphy T: Michael Appleby	89	-	-	-	50%
