In depth

Verdict

Bank Of Gibraltar was beaten back in a handicap at Kempton having won a maiden race before that. Freewheel scored at Pontefract and should go well again off a 4lb higher mark while Berkeley Vale bids for a hat-trick raised only 2lb having followed up a course and distance success with a win at Nottingham. Al's Memory scored in Guernsey last time but a chance is taken on top weight FIRESTORM bouncing back to form dropping down from Class 2 company having started life in this country last year off a 15lb higher mark.
