Verdict
THE GLOAMING arrives in decent form and only a pound higher than when scoring over track and trip in October. Lord Of The Glen was well beaten that day but was badly hampered and should get closer, despite re-opposing on worse terms. Blackcurrent is rarely beaten far and is closely matched with Isle Of Dreams on Catterick running but must be due a rest.
