Gabrial The Devil beat Bossipop here in October but the latter should reverse the form on 8lb better terms. Glory Fighter had Gabrial The Devil and Night On Earth behind when runner-up to Copper Knight over track and trip two weeks ago and races off the same mark while Navello ran a cracker in a big-field handicap at Royal Ascot last week. Successful three times as a juvenile, FAST RESPONSE hinted at a revival at Ayr last Saturday and looks to have an excellent chance in this dropped a further 2lb.
