GENTLE LOOK and Pat Cosgrave had the race in safe keeping from halfway at Redcar (1m) earlier this month, so there's few obvious worries for the Godolphin-owned gelding dropping back in trip to 7f tonight. A subsequent 6lb rise in the weights will make life a little tougher, albeit probably not stop the pair from swiftly following up. The main danger is expected to come from the upped in trip top-weight Wise Counsel.
