Gores Island is well treated on his best form but on a long losing run and had every chance when only second at Sandown eight days ago. Dreamsoftheatre isn’t really firing at present and Comeonginger blotted his copybook last time at Plumpton when finishing behind Like Sully. CLOUDY BOB (NAP) won at Kempton the last time he raced in this grade in March. He’ll handle the drop in distance at this course and has every chance of getting back on a winning track.
