Verdict

All have shown some form of varying levels but it's probably best to play safe with GATEWAY TO EUROPE (NAP). Neil King's charge has consistency on his side and looked all over the winner here recently until caught in the last strides. Previous efforts are of a decent standard and he can get off the mark under Bryony Frost. Finalshot's best form brings him into contention but his seasonal reappearance was sluggish and Staged Engagement, solid and consistent, makes more appeal. Irska, Westerly Wind and Kabrit could all improve with the latter making most appeal of that trio after a respectable hurdling debut here.
