Verdict

Savida will be a popular choice representing a powerful yard having finished fourth at Windsor on her debut. She looks sure to improve but PLUS FOURS made a bigger impression when third over 1m2f at this track on his first start. Amanda Perrett's charge only faded close home behind subsequent handicap winner Cockney Sparrow and is fancied to open his account with that experience under his belt. Mister Fizz was beaten by the narrowest of margins at Wolverhampton last time and Ballyheigue won't have to find that much improvement in first-time blinkers to get involved while the newcomer Black Motive is worth a second glance in the betting.
