In depth
Verdict
Gabrial The Thug bids for a course and distance treble having won an amateurs’ race a fortnight ago. Glenalmond was ahead of Trending when second over a longer distance at Chelmsford while What Usain was successful over 1m3f at Kempton a week ago, though is 5lb higher. Sir Lancelott won off a similar mark over track and trip last month and JUMBO PRADO landed a claimer here in December to record his seventh success over course and distance. This looks no tougher and Daniel Loughnane’s charge gets the vote.
