After a couple of promising efforts, Solent Gateway folded tamely at Haydock at the start of the month when a warm favourite. With soft going expected, Chepstow winner Nastase may not be well drawn against the stands’ rail but should again beat Almost An Angel and Imperium Blue. Onaraggatip has shown more than enough to suggest he is capable of winning at this level but DEWEY ROAD hasn’t done a lot wrong in his two runs to date and could make it third-time lucky here if he handles the ground.
