Verdict
Dovils Date looks to have decent claims now returned to this trip and Tim Vaughan's charge can give a good account, though GABRIAL THE GREAT is given the vote. David Pipe's looks to have found a good opportunity for his eight-year-old to exploit what now looks a good hurdles mark. Doubly Clever , Braavos and Curios Carlos are all exposed but not discounted.
