Captain Pugwash drops back down in distance under a penalty for winning over 1m2f at Wetherby while Thornaby Nash is upped in trip after scoring over 7f at Thirsk. Granite City Doc recorded his recent placed effort here over 1m3f and Four Kingdoms has also been racing over longer trips. Gabrials Centurion was well beaten last time having won at Southwell in December but KINGDOM BRUNEL should be sharper for last month’s reappearance. He was sent off favourite at Newcastle but faded in the closing stages and David O’Meara’s unexposed grey should make a bold bid today on his second outing after wind surgery.
