Simply with the benefit of a recent run GENTLE WARRIOR (1) gets the nod here. Rarely out of the frame throughout last campaign and never quite in the hunt on return at Musselburgh. Promising apprentice booked. Likely candidate. RUSSIAN RUMOUR (2) can provide stern opposition. Gets on well at this track and notable he won this very contest on reappearance in 2024. The main danger. DINO BELLAGIO (3) was quietly progressive last season with a good 5L victory at Chester the highlight in September (heavy). Can go well. RED DEREK (4) has been without a success for a while. This could turn tactical but percentage call is to oppose.
