Gorgeous General won over 6f here a fortnight ago but had earlier fallen victim to FINAL LEGACY over course and distance. The latter also beat Red Invader and Bungle Billy on that occasion and missed out by only a nose back here last time. Derek Shaw’s filly gets a another chance in her current form while Arzaak has won here in the past and is preferred off his current mark to the struggling Champagne Mondays.
