It's difficult to get past GABBIANO here. He showed plenty of promise to finish second on his debut over C&D last month with a subsequent winner back in third. Jeremy Gask's charge looks to have the best form on offer. The more exposed Finalist was also runner-up here last time and should be thereabouts again along with Here Comes Jeanie, who had Mrs Cash a couple of lengths behind at Lingfield recently. Chaud Lapin and Place That Face may need more time and Pettochside could prove best of the newcomers.
