Minimum stakes are the order of the day with a mere 5lb separating the nine runners on official ratings, the majority of whom arrive in fair form. Angel Gabrial has consistent maiden form but the similar profile of BERWIN makes greater appeal. The Lawman filly's reappearance run at Salisbury when beaten half a length by Varnish suggests she's done well from two to three and she faces similar forecast conditions now. Amanda Perratt has found a little form of late after a quiet start to the season and Isthmus, a pleasing second on his Lingfield reappearance for the Juddmonte operation, should give a good account for the Pulborough yard.
