Gunship's recent form leaves much to be desired but he did finish a long way ahead of Rash Moment when successful at Uttoxeter last May and it would be no surprise to see him in the firing-line here. Top weight Isle Of Inishmore may need this run to blow away a few cobwebs while it's impossible to place much confidence in Mr Bond, who fell again when fancied at Leicester last time. A first-time visor will have to glean massive improvement from Lucky Dancer if he's to figure so the vote goes to MAGNETIC POLE, who won off an 8lb higher mark at Bangor last August and should do better again now the ground is firming up.
