Verdict

Richard Fahey's pair Penwortham and Gabrial The Saint will both have to come round the outside but the stable's Gallipoli has a nice berth and was in fine form before failing to get the run of the race at Windsor. Asdaa has the inside berth and is back on the same mark as when last successful at Wolverhampton when Baby Steps was behind. King Of Tonga landed a Class 4 handicap at Newmarket in November which tempted connections to try him at two grades higher this season. He has been unable to cope but this looks his grade. True Blue Moon can go well but the vote goes to SPIRIT WARNING, who won a Class 3 handicap at Windsor a year ago from a higher mark than this.
