GUNMETAL hasn't won since taking the Great St Wilfred back in August 2018 but he looks well treated as a result. He has only raced on tapeta twice and wasn't disgraced on either outing (including last time out) so is chanced to end a long losing run. Fantasy Keeper will be a significant danger after his C&D victory. Outrage also holds each-way claims in a competitive race.
