In the hope that the first-time cheekpieces help give him a lift, GAMBIE TIEP earns the vote in this open-looking contest. Presumably the lack of match-fitness was a significant contributor to his heavy defeat at Ffos Las last month and he doesn't look badly treated off a mark just 2 lb above that off which he scored at Bangor three starts back. Blue Bear was behind Six One Nine at Newcastle but improved when scoring over this C&D subsequently and he is second choice. Templier also has claims.
