In depth
Formwatch
Gladiateur IV (FR) Was well beaten in a hot race at Market Rasen last time out but this looks easier and he is a leading contender.
Glemot (IRE) Has failed to complete on his last two starts and for that reason he is readily passed over.
Noble Comic Is best when able to dominate and he may be taken on for the lead, but he is in good form, others preferred on this occasion.
Defendtherealm Is well in on his best form and he goes well fresh and he looks the value bet in this open contest.
Comedy Gayle This veteran won a poor race over course and distance last time out but he will find this a lot tougher.
Who's To Say Is well out of the handicap and is readily passed over.
