SEA SAFFRON is clearly at one with himself and has won on three of his last four visits to this track, over hurdles and fences. Susan Gardner's representative is rated 5lb lower over timber and looks a danger to all off his feather weight. Water Garden is holding his form well judging by a recent Cheltenham second and is feared most, with Pause And Clause, another who landed a silver medal on his last start at Prestbury Park, unlikely to be far away either.
