Gabrial's King remains 10lb higher than when scoring on his seasonal debut and Royal Alcor has gone up the same amount since winning here earlier in the month. Royal Peculiar been raised 8lb for winning by a short-head over 1m4f here last time with Snow Hill well beaten and it could pay to stick with the less exposed DRAGON CITY. He had Kenny's Girl back in third when landing a maiden at Lingfield recently and this longer trip should suit.
