      Verdict

      GABRIAL last won a race on soft ground at Windsor just over a year ago and that was at this level. He's been performing with credit in Group company and the drop in class can see him back on the winning trail. Tashweeq was well behind him in the bet365 Mile at Sandown in April, though that was his first start for a very long time and he subsequently finished an excellent third in the Royal Hunt Cup. Custom Cut has finished behind the selection in a couple of recent starts while Richard Fahey's pair, Another Touch and Home CumminS, have something to find. Battle Of Marathon would have a real chance on the form he showed on soft ground last summer though he's been running poorly.
