AL GILLANI is taken to defy a six-pound penalty to score again at the expense of Avoca Dancer and Guildenstern. The selection broke his maiden tag at Great Leighs last week and now that the penny has finally dropped it would be no surprise to see him go in again so is one to stay on the right side of. Avoca Dancer is the other horse in the race with a six-pound penalty after winning at Brighton last time out. He has winning course form to his name also but he has risen in the weights so he will have to produce a personal best to win again. Guildenstern has in the past won off a mark of 80, but those days now look well behind him. That said he does look more than capable of running well off his current mark and if running up to form he should be in the shake-up.
