Scofflaw won over a mile here recently with previous course winner Glenn Coco back in third, though the latter re-opposes on better terms. The former had earlier beaten stablemate Los Camachos at Lingfield while Gentlemen had finished runner-up to Glenn Coco when the latter won here in November with Kadrizzi a close-up third and that trio are hard to separate. HAMMER GUN has an impressive strike rate at Southwell but has also won here before and found only one too good at Kempton last week. Dropping down in class today, Derek Shaw’s charge may prove good enough.
