In depth
Verdict
O'GORMAN was sent off a well backed favourite on his debut at Doncaster but was slowly away and could only manage fifth. He'll need plenty of improvement to take up an entry in next month's Gimcrack, but should find enough to land this. Fifteentwo stepped up on his debut effort to take third over today's trip at Hamilton and Duke Of Aricabeau can finish closer after his first start at Ripon. Citybell makes most appeal of the newcomers as she's related to the multiple winners Elusive Lady and Snow Dancer.
