Verdict
LAOCH GACH LA finished in front of Mr Gambino when runner-up in one of these races at Newcastle and may finally open his account. Furniture Factors finished a bit closer at Southwell last time while Good Humor and Somedayonedaynever could prove best of the rest as Qaabil travels over from Ireland having won only once in 27 starts.
