LINCOLN GAMBLE did well to hang on having worked hard to lead from a wide draw at Wolverhampton a couple of weeks ago and, from stall 1 this time, he's taken to defy a small rise. Fellow hat-trick seeker Bobby On The Beat, should lay down a challenge if taking part on the back of a 2-day turnaround, and Closing Bell may well have a bigger effort in him returning to 7f.
