Gambol hasn’t been disgraced at a lowly level on the all-weather lately and has won a race on the Flat. But he’s 0-14 under NH Rules and not improving while it’s difficult to find any encouragement in New Tarabela’s recent efforts. LUCY MC and Mount Shamsan are eased a little in grade and could fight out the finish with Barry Leavy’s grey, who won for Gordon Elliott at Sedgefield last September, just preferred under the in-form Lorcan Murtagh.
