      Verdict

      Gabrial The Duke makes a quick reappearance after landing an apprentices' race here on Tuesday and is a winner without a penalty. This is much tougher, however, and TIGHT KNIT has the superior form despite not winning. The latter failed to land the odds at Southwell last time but earlier placed efforts on this surface give him a leading chance. Swing Easy and Diletta Tommasa arrive on the back of wins and the latter beat Lucky Mountain at Wolverhampton while it would be no surprise to see Emulating improve this year and he's another to consider in a competitive closer.
