Gabrial The Tiger completed a hat-trick by scoring twice here in the summer but shot up the ratings and has found the going tough in better company. He's No Saint made all for a convincing victory on soft ground at Lingfield but is 6lb higher and may find it difficult to get to the front from the outside. Miracle of Medinah has run well here in the past but hasn't won a race for three years while ABOVE THE REST (NAP) last won in July of last year. But he's been mainly racing consistently at a higher level which is why the assessor has been unable to drop him. His close third in a Class 2 handicap here last month gives him a fine chance of getting back to winning ways. Alejandro scored twice at York in the summer of 2014 but hasn't won since.
