Verdict

Not many can realistically be given a chance here, and it looks a good opportunity for GUSTAVE MAHLER to wrap up a hat trick of wins in novice company. He simply galloped his rivals into the ground at Southwell last time and that may well be the case again here. Listen To The Man won't want to take the selection on early but can take second if settling in behind. Gannicus looks a clear third best.
  1. Gustave Mahler
