Gainsay has won twice over the course and distance and is only 1lb higher than his last success. Imperial Act has won three Class 6 races this year and was only beaten a neck at this level at Salisbury last time. Savitar has never won and ran moderately over the track and trip last month while NOBLE PEACE is on a long losing run. However, the latter has been racing in better company and is down to his lowest ever mark so can land this under the experienced Georgia Dobie.
