In depth
Verdict
Gidwa came good at Kempton recently but had earlier finished behind third-placed KIRITIMATI ISLAND over track and trip. The latter was beaten less than a length on that occasion and first-time cheekpieces may bring further progress. Above It All finished closer at Lingfield on his first outing over today’s trip and has been gelded since while Rhino has more scope than Ringo Starlight handicapping for the first time.
