Verdict

GAMRAI looked a different model on the back of being gelded when scoring at Kempton on his return and can defy a 9 lb hike in the weights. Last year's Jockey Club winner Bellum Justum kept good company last season and could prove the one to give John and Thady Gosden's improver most to do on his handicap debut ahead of Daiquiri Bay and Hopewell Rock.
