Firmament makes a quick reappearance having failed to threaten at Chelmsford a couple of days ago. Harrison Point wasn’t beaten that far when fourth at Kempton recently and can figure again while Gabrial The Devil won over 6f at Chester two runs ago but has yet to score on the all-weather. Ghaith has form over track and trip if rediscovering his best but the vote goes to ROVANIEMI (NAP). He was having his first outing since July when only weakening in the closing stages at Chelmsford and should be sharper for this.
