Simon Dow's upwardly-mobile SAIL ON SAILOR still looks ahead of his mark despite a 5 lb rise for his stylish Lingfield success so is fancied to complete a hat-trick at the chief expense of Takeitorleaveit who could have to settle for runner-up spot once more. Living In Hope could emerge as the pick of the remainder with this step up in distance a likely plus on her handicap bow.
