Verdict

Gabrial The Tiger has yet to win on the all-weather though ran well at Wolverhampton last time while Majestic Moon’ only success in 14 starts on artificial surfaces came at Southwell. Man Of Verve scored over a longer trip at Wolverhampton in November but both he and King Oswald have scored over course and distance in the past while PORRIMA attempts a mile for the first time. The latter has shown progressive form to land a double over 7f here recently, however, and with an apprentice’s allowance reducing today’s penalty and Ben Haslam’s yard in fine form it’s worth chancing she stays the distance.
