Verdict
GORTEENWOOD was winning for the third time in his last four starts when successful over a shorter trip here. Mark Gilliard's charge has little to beat in this if holding his form. Baily Storm made the frame at Fontwell recently though was still beaten out of sight but Shades Of Autumn went close over these fences back in April. It's hard to make a decent case for any of the rest although the returning Volio Vincente is back on a winning mark.
