Gambol's only previous win came around here but he's still 9lb higher and was tailed off on his reappearance. Tiger Lilly never figured over 2m at York but is back over his winning trip today and is lightly-raced. Slunovrat stumbled and unseated David Nolan at Nottingham last time having won at that track earlier but is taking on better opposition today with Newmarket third STOCK HILL FAIR fancied to end a frustrating sequence. She won off this mark at Goodwood just over two years ago and this is her ideal distance. All Talk N No Do went up 8lb for winning at Windsor in April and couldn't cope next time at York.
