GORAK had failed to meet market expectations on stable debut but quickly put that behind him when runner-up to an unexposed sort in this headgear at Southwell last month and is taken to go one place better off the same mark. Politics was a good second at Lingfield 2 weeks ago despite taking a strong hold, so rates the main threat ahead of top-weight Boafo Boy.
