By no means the strongest two-year-old race the course has staged this year and, for that reason alone, Richard Fahey's newcomer Gabriel The Saint has to be worth a look despite a far from ideal draw. If there is a big improver in the field, it's likely to be Gabriel's Centurion but 6f round here may just be on the sharp side, so preference is for SHAYA who took a big step forward when going close on her debut for new connections at Catterick last time.
