Verdict
GYPSY RIDER finally opened his account when successful at Chepstow last month. He's up 3lb for that but such is the dearth of credible opposition, Bryn Palling's charge may not have much trouble following up. Lady Platinum Club finished a bit closer at Newcastle last time and slips further down the weights while Artillery Man can race off an 8lb lower mark here than when finishing last at Newcastle in September. Nafa and Blueberry Fizz have the past form to figure but arrive out of sorts.
