Most of these are thoroughly exposed though MY GIGI is an exception. Gary Moore's filly has every chance in this if improving on last season's best efforts, notably a fourth at Newbury, and Silvestre De Sousa's booking takes the eye. Gladsome posted a much better effort when runner-up at Thirsk last time and should be in the mix once again as she had Eastlands Lad back in fifth. Mishhar is another to consider on her improved form in handicaps of late while Art Mistress and Red Charmer could prove best of the remainder.
