Master Speaker arrives on the back of a double over 6f at Dundalk but has yet to win over this far. El Hombre has also done all his winning over 6f but Eljaddaaf won over track and trip last month and has the beating of Silent Echo. Take The Helm was beaten only a length in last year’s renewal while Early Morning has been thereabouts recently and Wahash made a winning reappearance over a mile here but carries 6lb extra. Squats won under Georgia Cox at Newbury last year but the latter has ridden too many winners to use her allowance and GALLIPOLI is preferred. Richard Fahey’s charge went close in this grade at Newcastle on his return to action and can go one better with Sebastian Woods’ 5lb claim helping his cause.
