Gorgeous General returned to winning ways at Newcastle last month while RED ALLURE was beaten only a neck over 6f at the same track. The latter recorded all three wins so far over today’s minimum trip and a bold bid is expected. Chelmsford winner Shanghai Rock is unpredictable but Amazing Amaya scored twice on the all-weather early in the year. Elektronic has switched yards still looking for his first win while Gossip notched both previous wins on the old Fibresand surface here, including last year’s renewal.
