GAVLAR (NAP) is still improving judged on last week's win over course and distance - he can shrug off a penalty and go in again. Saborido has plenty to find with the selection on latest running but Frederic Chopin is not out of this on his recent placed efforts at Lingfield. Winter Spice hasn't raced since May and looks high enough in the weights anyway but Fresh Kingdom may be capable of better stepping attempting 2m for the first time.
