FINAL GAMBIT (10) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten half a length into second over 1m at this track (Synthetic). Well placed and sure to measure up. GUY SMILEY (1) made a promising debut over 6½f at this track (Synthetic) last start, finishing second and beaten 2.5 lengths. Likely improver so he will be hard to beat. CULTURE WAR (7) is a five-start maiden who could only manage to finish 11th at his latest appearance over 1m at this track (Synthetic) after he got a long way back in the run. Worth including in this suitable contest. BAKER HAYFIELD (3) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 21 lengths away in ninth over 1m1/2f at this track. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
