SAUVIGNON makes a quick reappearance following a career best performance last week. The yard's horses have been in tremendous form over the past few days and she can take advantage of the weight she receives from her rivals. North Hill is one to note with his stable in such fine form and with a top young rider booked to ride. His last couple of runs can be ignored and if there are positive signals in the ring he has to enter calculations. Champion Chase is interesting now stepping up in distance on his handicap debut.
