Gambol had his sights lowered at Bath and stayed on well in the first-time visor to win with a bit in hand,but preference is for GRACEFUL LADY. She has regularly made the frame but the combination of 1m6f and fast going saw her to best effect at Yarmouth and she can prevail in similar conditions off a reasonable mark. Retro Valley won well over 1m4f when last racing on the Flat and, off the same mark, can chase the winner home. Star Glitter is unexposed but best watched for the time being while Wordiness continues to decline.
