Two of these sport the Koukash colours but Gabrial The Tiger has better recent form than Gabrial's Kaka. Sporting Bill could be an interesting handicap debutant having had just three runs but the assessor has taken no chances. Global Humor has had mixed results here and ran poorly last time at Lingfield but is probably on a fair mark. Grey Destiny has won his last two, including one here, but others are less exposed and he’s upped in grade. THE BRITISH LION has been a shade disappointing since winning off a 5lb higher mark at Newcastle a year ago but he’s not been disgraced since returning from a break and it would be no surprise to see a return to his best here. Dollar Value and Mount Wellington are others to consider.
