Gentle Warrior
This could go the way of GENTLE WARRIOR, who showed improved form upped to this distance as he recorded back-to-back wins in the autumn. With his reappearance run behind him, the 4-y-o is preferred to the returning Russian Rumour who was a wide-margin winner under testing conditions when last seen.

Relished the step up to this trip last season, scoring in clear-cut fashion at Haydock and Chester in September. Ran poorly after 6 months off at Musselburgh 5 weeks ago, but no surprise to see him leave that effort behind.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMusselburgh1m 5f 216ySoftFlat10/13Nottingham1m 6fGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat5/7Haydock Park1m 6fGood to SoftFlat3/6Chester1m 6f 87yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat1/6Haydock Park1m 6fGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat1/11- 3(2)Dino BellagioJ: Conor WhiteleyT: Donald McCain314318-Age 75/25/29/4
