Verdict

A winner over 7f earlier, the front-running Gunnerside could go well racing over today’s trip for the first time while Manumission is fitted with cheekpieces after disappointing over track and trip. But TYGER BAY has improved for his current combination of headgear having won two of his last three outings including a tougher sprint than this at Kempton last month. He gets the vote only 3lb higher while Ancient Astronaut is another to consider on recent placed efforts here and is preferred to At Your Service and Creek Harbour.
