4.00 MAGICAL THOMAS; 4.50 DORA'S FIELD (IRE); 6.00 BULLION (FR); 7.00 MASTERDREAM (FR); 8.00 GIBRALTARIAN (IRE); LIGHTNING BLUE; NEW ZEALANDER; 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.
GIBRALTARIAN didn't quite seem to stay when trying a new trip at Fontwell earlier this month. The five-year-old should be suited by the return to this distance and he gets the vote to resume winning ways here. Magical Thomas has shown glimmers of his best form this season and is not to be underestimated on his current mark, while New Zealander is one to consider if building on his fourth-placed effort at Stratford.
