Gabrial The Hero's second to Ed De Gas at Lingfield last time now looks better as the latter has gone in again since and David Simcock's charge looks likely to get his head in front before too long. However, this won't take much winning and RIGHT TO RULE gets the nod as the half-brother to three winners is bred for middle-distances and may well be good enough to score at the first time of asking. Sir Graham Wade has clams on last year's second at Pontefract and Regal Swain hasn't been disgraced in a couple of starts in bumpers but may need further.
