It will come as a surprise if the unbeaten EMITOM relinquishes his unbeaten record here having cruised to victory last at Ffos Las with the opposition looking less than exacting here with the majority running to get a handicap mark. Saumur has some decent Flat form to bring to the table and could be of interest on her debut while his stable mate Invisible Clouds has already shown he has ability. Megalodon and Verbitude are a couple to look out for with a view to the future.
