GABRIAL THE HERO attempted to make all in soft ground over C&D last month. He wasn't beaten far in third and previous placed efforts on Polytrack point to David Simcock's charge handling today's faster ground.

The remainder with experience look no great shakes though Incitement made a decent effort on last year's debut at Newbury and Omid finished runner-up in a bumper at this track in November
