GALLANT LION is progressing well and once again showed a good attitude to score at Newbury recently, so he's worth a chance to complete the hat-trick at the likely expense of Morcar, who improved to make a successful handicap debut with loads in hand at Windsor a month ago. Gozo is the pick of the remainder.
