Verdict
John Riches brings GAMBINO out under a penalty after his victory here on Friday and, with Connor Beasley's claim halving the extra, he can go in again. Sewn Up has been in tremendous form here over the past few weeks and with just 2lb extra to contend with for his latest success he should be in the firing line. Rich Again looks a big threat as he won here last month then did even better when a close third in a stronger race at Kempton. Pour La Victoire was narrowly beaten here twice before scoring at Lingfield and is by no means badly treated so he's another to consider.
