The hard to solve handicaps keep coming on this card and this one is no exception with Richard Fahey well represented again with three in this with the pick looking to be Angel Gabriel. The Chester Cup may well be a destination in a few weeks for some of these like Soldier In Action although the other Johnston runner Isharah is the preferred of his pair. Both Sindarban and Stipulate are interesting types although the former has an outside draw to cope with and the latter may well be better over shorter. SHREWD was very much an improving sort last year and his reproduction of his York form would give him a sound chance here for a stable that do well with their stayers.
