      Verdict

      GABRIEL’S GETAWAY has been transformed by a switch to fences and is on a hat-trick. He is penalised for winning at Lingfield on Monday but should take all the beating if turned out again quickly. Pawpaw looks held on collateral form while Prime Pretender is proving hard to place but Grizzly James has his sights lowered a little so could feature.
