GUMBALL is dropping markedly in grade having contested Grade 1 contests the last twice and he can concede weight all round and in the process defeat his elders in this opening novice hurdle. Zalvados put in a decent performance in a highly competitive contest at Newbury last time out and he can get the better of Veiled Secret in the battle for second.
