Verdict
None of these have won over the trip or track. INTERCONNECTION has had just four runs and has been a bit disappointing but this trip should bring out the best in him and he's on a low enough mark to gain his first success. Gavlar had his first start over the trip at Newbury a couple of weeks ago and didn't appear to last out nor did Hallbeck in the same race while Inevitable finished last on his reappearance over 1m3f at Kempton. Unfinishedbusiness steps up to the trip for the first time and was staying on over 1m2f at Haydock so he could provide the main threat.
