Gingili has a bit more to do than when scoring twice at Musselburgh and could struggle to complete a hat-trick under Rules, though James Cowley's claim means he only has to give 3lb to the majority of his rivals and 10lb to stablemate and newcomer The Tailgater. BOARD OF TRADE did well to overcome trouble in-running on his debut at Exeter and beat Wishfull Dreaming. The latter is held in high regard and won in Listed company at Cheltenham next time so Alan King's four-year-old will be hard to beat. In The Hold shaped with some promise at Newbury in January and looks best of the rest.
