EASTERN GIFT returns to this track for the first time since winning over C&D in March. He's 3lb higher but this looks less competitive and Gay Kelleway's charge gets a tentative vote. Sasheen is 6lb higher than when last successful here but went close at Lingfield last month off today's mark, while Rapid Water has been threatening a return to winning ways but has something to prove over today's trip. Catchanova's only win came on the turf but he's been placed here before and veteran San Antonio is another to consider in a wide-open affair.
