Verdict

GABORIOT looks set for another productive campaign judged on his solid reappearance third in the Grand Sefton at Aintree where he shaped as though the return to this trip was very much in order. He is marginally preferred to last year's winner Forward Plan, who is greatly respected given his broadly progressive profile and despite the fact that he is 12 lb higher in the weights this time. Does He Know is also high on the shortlist and don't be surprised to see Erne River go well at a price.
