Much improved, in first-time blinkers, when excellent third of 9 in handicap at Goodwood (8f, good to firm) 33 days ago, nearest finish. Can race off same mark here and further improvement may be forthcoming.

8/1

Upped his game when making a winning handicap debut at Southwell (7.1f) in April and found further improvement, in first-time cheekpieces, when good second of 6 at Wolverhampton (8.6f, evens) 40 days ago. Likely more to come yet.

Forecasts

Gallant (6/5), Transparent (2/1), Padua (7/1), Threatening (8/1), Troy Story (11/1), Lazieelunch (12/1), Invincible Duke (16/1), Hot Property (20/1)

GALLANT looks nicely treated and has shaped better then the bare result the last twice. He makes plenty of appeal here. Threatening and Invincible Duke are also of interest in what looks an intriguing contest.
