Saaheq^p⁶^{(ex 4)}

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: S M Levey| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 70| CD

11/8

15/2, improved on recent efforts to win 8-runner handicap at this C&D (AW) 6 days ago. Still very well treated under a 4-lb penalty, so should follow up if the race doesn't come too soon.

Form: 763-441

11/2

C&D winner. Latest win here in January. 8/1, respectable 3¾ lengths fourth of 8 to Saaheq in handicap at this C&D (AW) 6 days ago, running on. Unlikely to reverse the form.

Forecasts

Saaheq (11/8), Tin Hat (9/2), Pop Dancer (9/2), Outrage (11/2), Capla Spirit (11/2)

SAAHEQ produced his best effort for some time when scoring readily over C&D 6 days ago and should have enough to defy a penalty up against well-exposed rivals. Tin Hat and Pop Dancer, both runner-up last time, could pose the main threats.
