In depth
Verdict
Gatsby Cap gained his second track success with a comfortable victory over Sister Lola, who runs earlier, last month and a 7lb rise is unlikely to prevent another big effort. However, ALICE MILLIGAN was only beaten less than two lengths on her return from a break then found 6f too short a couple of weeks later. She's never won a race but she's on her lowest-ever mark and this looks her chance. Gormanston has been running well all winter and gained his second success with something in hand over Beleaguerment, who runs earlier, 12 days ago. Although raised 6lb he should make a bold bid to go in again though Is That Love, penalised for scoring over a mile here on Friday, is another with chances. Amazing One is rarely beaten far and is gradually dropping to a winnable mark.
