Verdict
DI’S GIFT ended a long losing run with a cosy win over 1m4f here in an apprentices’ race. He escapes a penalty for that success and today’s extra distance is not a problem. Galileo's Spear has a bit to prove on this surface judged on earlier efforts while Mystikana debuts on the Fibresand but Brotherly Company won here in January and has placed in an all-weather bumper at the track subsequently. Katie Gale was runner-up over track and trip on her penultimate start and could prove a threat on that form.
