Verdict
FORT GABRIEL has been a revelation since joining David Bridgwater, winning all three starts. The handicapper has bumped him up another 5lb since his latest victory but he may have one more win in him. Lost Legend took advantage of a tumbling mark to score over further here last month. Jack Savage again takes off 7lb and he’s preferred to stablemate Clubs Are Trumps. Gingili has had just the one run over fences and has been in good form over hurdles recently so warrants a mention but the others need to rediscover their best form to figure.
