Dana's Present won three times over longer trips on the Polytrack last term and drops back to sprinting after a modest seasonal debut. Whisky Bravo's winning run came to an end in soft ground at Hamilton last time and Point North was a big disappointment when attempting to follow-up his Wolverhampton win at the same track last time. GABRIAL'S GIFT has been in good form on the all-weather and was beaten only a length by the progressive Khawatim last time. He can race off a 10lb lower mark back on this surface and can take advantage. Two Turtle Doves has found a couple too good in both starts since winning at Hamilton and it could prove the same story here.
