SADDADD hasn't been seen since his London Gold Cup success in May but that has once again turned out to be one of the strongest 3-y-o handicaps of the season and he can make light of a 6 lb rise and prove too strong for fellow 3-y-o Dangerman. The draw could have been kinder to Castle Cove but he's another low-mileage sort from a leading stable who likely has his best days ahead of him.
