Race preview
SERGEANT showed further progression when finishing second at Ludlow 10 days ago, finding only an in-form rival too strong, and the Milton Harris-trained gelding is fancied to prove too strong for his rivals. Fellow four-year-old Durragh returns after receiving a wind operation and can give the selection most to do, while Tara Iti stepped up when second over C&D on his latest start and also merits consideration.
