      Verdict

      GIFTED RULER is clear at the weights as he drops down in class and Hugo Palmer has a fine strike rate with his runners here. Barneys Gift edges the others on today’s terms but Zuraig and Grifter arrive in better form with the former preferred over today’s trip. Gordonstoun has disappointed since a fifth over track and trip back in June.
