A difficult finale in which bottomweight Gallego can just see off the claims of recent winners Sonny Parkin and La Bella Grande. Gallego has not so much knocked on the door but thundered upon it for sometime and with the young apprentice claiming 7lb off his back - the tariff of 7st 9lb means that he will be in receipt of the proverbial lump of weight from the rest. Already proven over eight furlongs, compensation awaits. Sonny Parkin hails from the in-form Geoff Huffer team. A surprise winner at headquarters, he holds a solid claim on the book providing that he is capable of gaining a clear run. La Bella Grande has been dropped back to eight furlongs after given a cautious run over ten. Roger Charlton's record at the track speaks for itself and the market is duly watched. Fasylitator raced much more kindly without a visor on his most recent start at Wolverhampton. Claimed for 5500 pounds, he can recoup that fee tonight for Dean Ivory if successful. San Deng is much better than his most recent line of form suggests. He was hampered badly with two to travel and can be expected to confirm his recent progression. Poker Player is a maiden who finished second to a well regarded horse of Walter Swinburn's in a recent Doncaster maiden. The visor has been removed from My Diss Sire following a poor run at Bath. Many chances held and one that might go to the lightly weighted Gallego.
