Gun Case finished ahead of Grey Destiny when fourth here last time and had Jessinamillion back in third when scoring over 7f earlier. Im Dapper Too went close over 7f on his penultimate start and Rosemay was placed in a seller at Musselburgh recently while Billy Bond should go well again, despite a 6lb rise, given he won by three lengths at Ayr last month. But the unexposed GILDED HEAVEN returns to action having returned a losing favourite at Leicester on her handicap debut and Roger Varian’s filly gets the nod expected to improve for this extra furlong.
