Ginbar is the only course and distance winner in the line-up but will do well to win this from his outside berth on his reappearance. Gabrial The Saint has been showing good speed in novice company and with owner and trainer always to be feared around here he can go well on his handicap debut. The stable also run Requinto Dawn, who has been going well though hasn't added to his debut victory at Doncaster last April. Mr Top Hat had some smart form over this trip on ground with give last summer. He returned to action over 7f at Newbury where he never really got involved and could find a few too pacey here. LAST PAGE has the inside berth and the pace to get to the front. His only victory came on his only start over this trip and he gets the nod in a tight looking handicap.
