Gats And Co finished ahead of High Counsel and Nessfield Blue when third at Warwick and has solid place claims again here. Wind Tor, Ballybreen and Le Tueur have the past form to figure but BRETNEY hails from a yard enjoying a good campaign and the seven-year-old has twice finished second over this trip in better company since getting off the mark at Uttoxeter.
