Gilbert will be fancied to complete the hat-trick after back-to-back wins at Brighton and Chepstow under 3lb claimers. But it might be significant that Ray Dawson has been booked to ride stable companion NIAMH AND OONAGH, who was staying on when carrying overweight on her reappearance at Lingfield last month. Promotion is likely to run his race again and Ciao Adios is another to consider back on Turf.
