GATHURST would have overhauled Postulant in another couple of strides over course on distance on debut and is likely to be a short price to go one better this evening. Doncaster third Wether Girl looks the one for forecast-backers, though Helvis showed enough on his introduction to suggest he'll do better in time. None of the others make much appeal on what they've shown so far.
