Gabrial The Thug bids for rapid compensation having failed in his hat-trick bid here on Saturday night but the extra furlong is a concern. Cat Royale only found one too good over course and distance last month while Pour L'amour is getting closer. King Oswald was only beaten a neck here two runs ago but couldn’t justify favouritism off his new mark last week, though wasn’t beaten far. LEMON THYME was entitled to need her run at Lingfield and shaped with distinct promise. This step up in trip should suit and she has the beating of Golly Miss Molly and is the least exposed of this bunch.
