Azrael popped up at a big price at Yarmouth last time and, with an apprentice negating a rise in the weights, he should make another bold. AVAILABLE is just preferred, however, as her defeat of a subsequent winner over track and trip looks stronger form and John Mackie's filly is fancied to follow up in what looks a less competitive affair. Gabrial's Gift was withdrawn at Chepstow last night having won over 6f at the same track last time but will stay the extra and the frustrating Caramack made it seven placed efforts in a row when second at Brighton last week. Bajan Bear also made the frame when third over track and trip on his return and looks best of the rest.
