Verdict
The handicapper hasn't overreacted to SAX APPEAL's demolition job here a fortnight ago, handing him a 5 lb rise for that 14-length victory, and a fourth win on the bounce could be in the offing for Charlie Johnston's charge. Lightly-raced maiden Not Me promises to be suited by this step up in trip and is taken to emerge as the main danger ahead of the Tony Carroll-trained duo, Annexation and Tortured Soul.

VerdictFive wins from 19 Flat runs. Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at this course (12.1f, 7/4) 14 days ago, very much having run of race. Has to be taken seriously. - 5. Not MeJ: Saffie OsborneT: James FergusonF: 45/2-43

VerdictLightly-raced maiden. 2/1, good third of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 26 days ago, running on. Going up in trip here should aid his cause and he's a live each-way player off the same mark.
