Stanlow completed a double around this time a year ago but is still higher in the weights despite not having won since. He finished over two lengths behind Sarlat here in November but was conceding 17lb and should have few problems reversing the form on these terms. Gabrial The Thug has won once in 31 starts and that was on Turf while Ferryview Place has a lone success in 25 all-weather starts. SPOKESPERSON has had little racing for his age but seems to have found his true form on this track. A winner here last month, he was staying on strongly when runner-up a few days later and, though climbing the weights again, he can get back to winning ways. Sixties Queen's only victory in 28 starts came here in April and she's now on a 7lb lower mark.
