Verdict
Gabrial The Thug is bidding for a course and distance hat-trick. He's only slowly creeping up the weights so should be thereabouts again. Keep To The Beat ran her best race for a while here earlier in the month while veteran John Potts isn't out of this. Happydoingnothing may be better over 7f but is another to consider. WARDEN BOND is a real course specialist so can probably be forgiven his latest run at Chelmsford. He can bounce back today, despite a poor draw.
