Bollin Margaret hasn’t really fired since a third at Beverley in May but she has dropped to a mark from which she is capable of winning. Several of these are trying this longer trip for the first time but HE’S A GENTLEMAN was keeping on over Hamilton’s stiff mile last time, with Cosmos Raj behind, and may be ready to finally open his account. Gainsbourg is another with stamina to prove but makes most appeal of the remainder ahead of Marquis Of York and Dungar Glory.
