A trappy opener but KRAKA GYM gets the verdict. Graham Gibbons is riding at the top of his game at present and, though connections will have been disappointed to get a 2lb rise for a recent placed effort at Kempton, the gelding should be capable of finding the necessary improvement. Another Royal and Baltic Fire have both had their chances, though the former ran with a degree of encouragement on her reappearance at Beverley. Julie Burke is aboard Marlismamma for David O'Meara and she was in the saddle on the filly's only previous success at Ayr. Sooqaan, Minionette and Shamouti are all making their first foray into handicaps while Kalahari Kingdom is often well supported and Richard Fahey reaches for the cheekpieces on this occasion.
