Gallas looks the pick of the weights in this wide open affair and is taken to beat Inchcape Rock and Son Of Bathwick. Greg Chung's four-year-old has been knocking on the door recently and deserves to get his head in front where it matters. He was just pipped in a slightly better race than this at Yarmouth last time out and a repeat of that effort should be good enough this afternoon. Inchcape Rock put in his best performance of the season at Leicester last time when beaten just over three lengths in a claimer, he may be good enough to reach the frame. Son Of Bathwick is another to consider for each-way purposes having shown his first sign of ability last time. Richard Quinn is an interesting booking for Devious Ayers so watch for any market move for Milton Bradley's runner. However Gallas has the best recent profile and should not be far away.
