Timeform Verdict 
GILET continued his theme of race-by-race progress when second at Chelmsford 3 weeks ago and a repeat of that form may enable him to go one place better. The Hare Rail's debut was full of promise so he's a threat, with Dark Rosa a potential improver given she'll know more this time.
Betting Forecast
8/1 On The Never (Ire), 11/1 Dark Rosa (Ire), 10/1 Spiritualism (Ire), 4/1 The Hare Rail (Ire), 9/4 Gilet (Ire), 66/1 Launceston (Ire), 14/1 Chester Arms
