DRUMPELLIER is the selection ahead of Your Gifted and Taborcillo. Paul Midgley's runner ran a close up second at Redcar last time out and from a decent draw today, she makes plenty of appeal off her current mark. Your Gifted won here earlier in the month. As he swerved quite violently from the stalls, that has probably gave connections the idea of trying out headgear. Taborcillo was highly tried as a juvenile and the handicapper has decided to allocate a mark of 60 following three runs. The market is watched. Gower Sophia has shown form at this grade previously though we are unsure as to the suitability of the going. Vilnius looks well exposed these days. Dower Glen was running in plating events last year but the handicapper finally seems to be loosening his grip. Drumpellier has plenty in his favour this afternoon and is afforded our nomination.
