FINEST LEADER was entered at Ffos Las yesterday but comes here instead and will be fancied to pick up the winning thread again following a narrow defeat over a longer trip at Kempton. Gallimimus has done all of his winning in lesser company but there should be more to come from handicap debutante Strong Impact after a couple of seconds at Newmarket. Born Ruler is having a first run on Turf but there is no reason why he won’t handle the surface. Tudor may be the pick of the older horses despite returning from a break.
