Turbo travelled well last time out and his time may not be far away however we will take a chance on Gala Sunday ahead of Zabeel Tower. Mick Easterby has Turbo, Gala Sunday and Alsadaa in this race and the market may help guide to which may fare best but we will side with course and distance winner Gala Sunday. Serena Brotherton is yet to have a winner since returning from injury but the fact that she rides Gala Sunday rather than Richtee who she has partnered twice recently strikes a chord. The horse likes soft ground and after a poor run over hurdles when last seen, he can bounce back from a break with a victory. Zabeel Tower won well last time out at Ayr but may be happier on a slightly quicker surface, whilst Gardasee is unexposed on the flat and is fully effective on a bog. He looks the obvious danger, however Gala Sunday gets the tentative nomination.
