This is probably GAP OF DUNLOE's level nowadays and he was only beaten a length and a quarter at Ffos Las when last appearing in a seller. Peter Bowen's charge has to give weight to his four rivals but his form is far superior to all-bar Annaluna. She's had three runs on the Flat since her fourth at Huntingdon in March and is capable of making a race of it with the selection getting 15lb taking into account Ryan Hatch's claim.
