Verdict
KINGSGATE NATIVE (NAP) has met all of today's rivals on at least one occasion and none of them have ever finished in front of Robert Cowell's once classy sprinter. He was bumped at the start behind the impressive Mecca's Angel at Doncaster last time but still finished ahead of Noble Storm and had earlier been beaten less than a length here in the Bullet - he is difficult to oppose in this grade. Tangerine Trees won the Prix l'Abbaye in 2011 but has only managed one success since and was a little disappointing at Hamilton last time while last year's Flying Childers' winner Green Door has struggled this season.
