Another tight handicap to fathom out for punters with many holding chances on their best form but the finish could involve Gabla, Copplestone and Kharak and we will take a chance on Gabla. The gelding from the Richard Guest yard was a good second last time out behind Dilsaa and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat. Copplestone has been in top form of late and rates the main danger after his second behind Ei Ei but his best form is with slightly more cut in the ground so for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. Kharak is another that could go well but he may just need this after an absence so we are happy to side with Gabla.
