        mid-division on inside, switched right and headway over 1f out, stayed on well inside final furlong, never reached leaders

        In depth

        Verdict

        Plenty with claims in this although Invigilator is facing a much tougher test than his recent win over C&D and Strong Man's victory came over an extra furlong. Belle Bayardo failed to follow up his C&D victory off today's mark at Kempton during the week so it could pay to stick with GABRIAL'S GIFT. The latter has finished ahead of Key Ambition on his last couple of starts, including a win at Lingfield, and should make another bold bid. Fred Willetts and Dancing Maite are both capable at this level on their day and are others to consider.
