Verdict

CRUDEN was unlucky not to run down Gallivanted from a long way back at Goodwood 2 weeks ago and he is narrowly fancied to turn the tables, with Gallivanted himself a serious contender again. Personal Best developed into a really likeable type last season and makes her comeback with her yard in red-hot form.

6	Runner-up over this trip on stable debut at Wolverhampton in December and quickly put a lesser effort behind him when a fast-finishing nose second of 10 to Gallivanted in handicap at Goodwood (1¾m, good, 25/1) 13 days ago, coming from much further back than the winner.

3	Won a fair Kempton maiden on final start for Tom Clover last spring, and following a productive season over hurdles for his new yard, ran well when close third on handicap debut at Thirsk. Improved to edge out Cruden at Goodwood (1¾m, good) 13 days ago and has to be respected from 3 lb higher. 2nd Pick 3 Gallivanted (Fr) Jockey: Pierre-Louis Jamin Trainer: Harry Derham J: Pierre-Louis Jamin T: Harry Derham	98	-	-	-	34%

7	Deservedly doubled her career tally at Ffos Las last summer and continued to hold form well after, signing off for the season with a brace of runner-up efforts at Nottingham. Returns from 6 months off with yard in great form and she has to be taken seriously. 3rd Pick 7 Personal Best Jockey: Rob Hornby Trainer: Jonathan Portman J: Rob Hornby T: Jonathan Portman	100	-	-	-	34%
