Verdict
Gavin takes a big drop back in class after finishing fifth in a Class 2 at Market Rasen last month. Though he may be high enough in the weights after three wins this season, the return to better ground will suit. LONG CALL (NAP) is back on the same mark as when landing this 12 months ago. He’s been in good form on the Flat recently so a repeat may be on the cards as Gerard Mentor seems to have lost confidence while Fandabidozi is struggling to get his head in front. My Brother Jack is also winless so far over timber and so is Trick Of The Tail, though the latter has placed twice around here.
