Alghazaal could be interesting making his UK debut as he didn’t appear to stay 1m7f when favourite at Leopardstown last month. Eastern Sheriff is a past course and distance winner who looked to be on the way back at Thirsk before running a shocker at Newcastle. CARRIGILLIHY was well ahead at Gosforth Park, despite not really taking to the surface. He’s been very consistent on Turf this year and is probably still on a decent mark. Innse Gall is probably improving but tries 1m4f for the first time whereas Dreams Unwind won over further last time at Catterick and seeks a fourth victory of the campaign.
