Gabriel's Getaway left his hurdling form behind when scoring easily at Taunton on his chasing debut but has been raised 11lb and drops down in trip. The adoption of front-running tactics brought a much better effort from HECTOR JAGUEN at Plumpton on his first start over fences. He had to settle for third on that occasion but may get his own way at the head of affairs in this. Dindin looks stuck on his current mark but Tamaris makes his chasing bow after placing over timber at Fontwell.
