Gordonstoun landed a fast-ground Leicester seller than battled to victory in a heavy-going claimer on a return visit. He has plenty of weight to concede here and BASHFUL, runner-up in a heavy-ground Ayr handicap last month, may have his measure. Cotai Class is 0-16 but has been placed several times and changed yards and Declan Carroll will get a race out of him. Freddie Robinson has only been placed once in nine starts but has shown ability and runs in this grade for the first time.
