Verdict
Gulf, has a bit more to do than when landing a maiden at Salisbury, but he is open to any amount of improvement, while Stage By Stage will find this company more to his liking, after being found out at a higher level. The blinkers bought about some improvement from Savannah Bay last time and if can reproduce that running he must go close. However, preference is for Mr Dinos. He looked a resolute galloper at Newmarket, and looks sure to improve for the step up in trip.
