FANTASY GLADIATOR got his head in front close home at Nottingham last time. Tommy's Secret was not far behind in second and it would be no surprise if that pair fight this one out again. Atlantic Affair's winning run came to an end off today's mark at Ripon while Hercullian Prince failed to figure stepped up to this grade at Epsom having earlier won at Wolverhampton. City Of Angkor Wat is capable at this level and back on a winning mark.
