In depth
Verdict
Gambon is fitted with headgear having gone close at Chepstow and is unexposed on the all-weather but Kupa River’s best recent effort came on Turf at Thirsk. Tranchee’s earlier success and subsequent placed effort came at Southwell but Inaam landed a gamble over track and trip last year though is 5lb higher today. CHOOKIE DUNEDIN (NAP) has been racing on Turf but has won four of only five starts at this venue and racing off a 2lb higher mark than when last successful in February, Keith Dalgleish’s charge is taken to return to winning ways.
