GOWANLAD won a novices contest at Newcastle on his first start of the year. He beat similar types to these and should make another bold bid now handicapping. Lezardrieux has been in the mix since scoring over track and trip last month and Lilkian is another usually thereabouts at this level. Inevitable Outcome has a shout on his recent efforts over course and distance as he drops down in class while Rubia Bella is less exposed than most.
