Verdict

GALLANT is fancied to capitalise on a falling mark in a tight handicap. Hard to discount any of the remainder but Stenmark and Miletus should be in the shake-up if the likely strong pace materialises.

1	Keen-going sort who won twice for Andrew Balding (up to 1m), and while he hasn't built on his best effort for present yard when second at Chelmsford (6f) in February, a strong pace/ease in grade may see him resume winning ways. 1st Pick 1 Gallant (Fr) Jockey: Jonny Peate Trainer: Oli Rix J: Jonny Peate T: Oli Rix	100	-	-	-	17%	5/1

6	In first-time cheekpieces (replacing blinkers), he finished a close third on first start for his new trainer (previously assistant to his old one Denis Quinn) at Yarmouth last month and is fancied to go well again in a similar event. 2nd Pick 6 Stenmark (Ire) Jockey: William Carson Trainer: Gihan Arnolda J: William Carson T: Gihan Arnolda	98	-	-	-	23%	7/2

2	Sole win came in a Windsor novice on heavy ground for previous yard. Gambled-on second on first start for current yard and while his finishing effort again left something to be desired when third at Nottingham (1m, soft) last time, the addition of cheekpieces/likely strong pace should suit. 3rd Pick 2 Miletus (Ire) Jockey: Rob Hornby Trainer: James Keane J: Rob Hornby T: James Keane	97	-	-	-	19%	9/2
