Gabrial The Wire is 3-20 around here but has the widest draw to contend with. Manhattanville is running well and from an in-form yard though he's another berthed wide as is Algheed, whose best form has been on Polytrack at Lingfield. SIR OLIVER (NAP) completed an Epsom double last summer and returned to winning ways at Chelmsford when always up with the pace. He's 9lb lower back on Turf and has an inside draw so can follow up. Roundhay Park scored over track and trip in September and some rain would put him in the picture while Poet's Magic struck form around this time last summer.
