Verdict
Though 1-20, GO FOR GABRIAL earns full marks for consistency and his turn may have come around again. Precision Storm has been much improved back here recently and should be in the firing-line but the lightly-raced Systemic is having a first run on Tapeta. The Throstles and Whatwouldyouknow are course specialists, however, and Embrace The Moment and Richard R H B are others to consider.
