It's difficult to make a strong case for any of these. Atacama Sunrise posted a better effort in this lowly grade at Wolverhampton last week and has a chance but the the vote goes to GALLANTRY. Paul Howling's veteran is still capable at this level and a repeat of last month's fifth over track and trip would see him thereabouts in this company. Olynard and Chez Vrony drop down in class and may figure while Crucis Abbey and Supa Seeker have slipped down the weights and could improve as a consequence.
