Gabrial The Wire is best at Chester and 4lb higher than when scoring at the latter track in September while Three Saints Bay is back on a winning mark but would prefer some cut in the ground. ASDAA (NAP) faded badly in the final furlong at Doncaster attempting a mile for the first time but was placed over today’s trip at Newmarket before that and Mark Johnston’s charge gets the nod on the strength of that form. Doncaster runner-up Muntadab is getting closer to ending a losing run after a tumble down the weights and is preferred to Rux Ruxx and Tadaawol of the remainder.
