Verdict
GENTLE SLOPES and Big Gangsta have both won between the flags. The former has the most scope of that pair and can make a winning start under Rules. Emily Wade and Thirsty Weather look closely matched on the form book while Burrows Light is a half-brother to two winners, though Sue Smith’s bumper horses often need a run.
