Gabrial The Thug and ANGELICAL set the form standard and there's little between the pair. Ian Williams has done well to coax three successes from the former since the move from Richard Fahey while the latter has continued to perform solidly since landing a Leicester handicap in April. That win in the Midlands arrived on good to firm ground so the Loughnane inmate receives the nod as she's likely to prove better suited to forecast similar conditions here and Charlie Bennett claims a useful 3lb. Betsalottie has a career record of 1-21 and is frustratingly inconsistent but would be a contender if delivering his best.
