Gainsay⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Tyler Saunders| T: J G Portman| OR: 67| CD

4/1

Unbeaten in two AW starts including over C&D back in March. Promising sixth at Epsom (good) over an extended 1m last month when returning from a break and is interesting off a mark 1lb higher than for that latest success.

8/1

Followed up a 3L last of four at Yarmouth (1m, good-to-firm) with a fair fifth over the same trip at Pontefract (good) last time out. Worth a check in the market having won off much higher marks in the past.

3/1

Met trouble in running when sixth over this C&D on his penultimate start and ran well when 3L fourth at Salisbury (good-to-soft) subsequently. Of interest receiving weight from all of his rivals.

Forecasts

Savitar (3/1), Imperial Act (4/1), Letsbe Avenue (4/1), Gainsay (4/1), Noble Peace (8/1), Subliminal (10/1), Nezar (11/1), He's Our Star (12/1)

SAVITAR ran well on turf last time out and he is the selection to register a first career success by taking the opening handicap. Imperial Act has been in good form this year and she can finish runner-up for the second consecutive start while third place cna go to Gainsay who has won on both of her previous AW appearances.
