Gallego is still capable of making his presence felt in this grade though is probably better over shorter, despite having won over C&D in the past. Desert Vision may struggle to confirm Carlisle running with Petsas Pleasure on today's revised terms, while Mustajed disappointed at Haydock earlier this month. James Pollard has been a reformed character lately but may be thwarted in his hat-trick bid off this mark and Duquesa keeps finding one too good. POTENTIALE goes well for an inexperienced rider and won off a 2lb higher mark at Epsom a year ago. He could be worth another chance to show he is no back number.
