Verdict

GAINSBOURG failed to build on his sound comeback run at Southwell last time, though he possibly paid the price for closing down the leaders before the rest and has to be worth another chance back in slightly calmer waters. Sandret ran well on his reappearance last season so must enter calculations from a career-low mark. Precisely and Clear Angel complete the shortlist.

  1. GAINSBOURG
  2. SANDRET (IRE)
  3. PRECISELY
