GAVLAR (NAP) returned to action with a creditable third over track and trip recently. He drops down a couple of grades for this and Bill Knight’s charge should make a bold bid. Isaac Bell was runner-up over 1m6f at Chelmsford last time but Soghan attempts today’s trip for the first time having been narrowly beaten over 1m4f here last month. Master Archer stays this far but usually finds one too good but October Storm ended last year with a victory over 2m at York and Uber Cool won over a shorter trip at Haydock in September.
