GAMRAAN is closely related to winners over this trip and certainly kept on well enough at Doncaster to suggest that he is up to picking up a small race. Iain Jardine seeks his first juvenile winner of the season and Jonny Concrete didn’t do too much wrong when outpointed here last month. Ballymount Boy was the most expensive of these to go through public auction and ran an encouraging race at Newcastle on debut. Media Shooter is respected from a stable that are capable of having them ready first time out.
