THE GAY CAVALIER went close in a maiden race over track and trip a week ago. He's much better treated on today's terms than Pearl Ransom, who scored over a mile here early in the year and can open his account. King Olav and Incendo have both won this year but arrive out of form, as do most of the remainder including Love Tangle, weighted to figure but tailed off at Wolverhampton on Monday.
