      Verdict

      Gabrial The Thug continues to defy the handicapper but will need to do so again raised a further 5lb after a hat-trick of course and distance wins. But he was hard-pressed to beat RAGING BEAR on his latest start and the latter may reverse running today on better terms with Ryan Tate's claim an added bonus. Spirit Of Gondree is usually thereabouts over 7f here while Sexy Secret was supported in the betting here last time but came up short when second to Matraash.
