Gamesters Lad was still beaten seven lengths when runner-up at Brighton last time and LETTUCE SNOW is preferred. The latter finished closer under today's apprentice when second over a mile here last time and this longer trip should prove within her compass. Tatiani has just a length to find with the selection on latest running and makes more appeal than Royal Roslea, who disappointed when stepped up to today's distance at Brighton recently, but Storytale could prove a bigger danger now handicapping after a lay-off.
