chased leaders, not much room on rail halfway, weakened quickly over 2f out, behind and eased over 1f out, tailed off
Hayley Moore has won this twice in five years and looks to have leading claims partnering GABRIAL THE TERROR. Dave Simcock's charge is a course and distance winner and finished runner-up here three weeks ago. City Ground and Serena Brotherton found one too good again at Beverley last week and prolific course winner Megalala is preferred given he picked up this prize in 2011. Flag Of Glory won twice under today's rider last year and looks best of the rest.
