Bathcounty has yet to race on the Flat but is a winner over hurdles and has the beating of Marleno, Pullmen and Chain Reactor on National Hunt form. The Great Gabrial is a son of Yorkshire Oaks winner Quiff and could go well on his belated racecourse debut while Between The Lines and Ice Tres look likely to improve. However, WYBORNE wasn't beaten far in four starts for Andre Fabre in France last year and he may prove good enough on his first start since August and debut for Brian Ellison.
