An ultra-competitive finale in which preference is for GISELLES DEFENCE, who has been knocking at the door in recent weeks and Gavin Cromwell's 3-y-o can make it thirteenth time lucky. Pittsford showed improved form to get off the mark at this track 4 weeks ago and he could emerge the main danger now handicapping, with Oakley and John Alexander another couple fancied to be in the mix.
