Four of these have a handicap mark and GABRIELLE comes out best. She attempts today’s trip for the first time having finished runner-up in a handicap over 5f at Yarmouth but should have the measure of the frustrating Ce Jay. The latter has returned a losing favourite in four of his eight starts so far while Never In Doubt has been handicapping without success and Shesthedream has shown no progress in her last couple of outings.
