In depth

Verdict

GABRIAL’S STAR comes out best at the weights and returns to this venue for the first time since winning easily over 2m here last month. Bertie Moon finished a distant second on that occasion and Richard Fahey’s charge can confirm running. The latter and Samtu were both well beaten over track and trip recently while Iniesta has a tough task on these terms though won over hurdles in October.
