Verdict
Gabrials Centurion had last year’s winner Majestic Moon back in fourth when scoring over track and trip last time and is preferred to another recent winner in Dashing Poet. The latter beat the re-opposing Mametz Wood a neck here before finishing second at Lingfield while Side Effect returned an easy winner over course and distance last month but is 7lb higher today. Dual course winner MAMA AFRICA has not been at her best so far this winter but showed a bit more when placing in Class 3 company here a fortnight ago. David Barron’s mare sneaks in this off top weight today and may well come good again.
