Race preview
THE TRIGGER came desperately close to landing a gamble at Downpatrick on Sunday and providing this doesn't come too soon after those exertions, he could prove difficult to beat. He was closing all the way to the line in the aforementioned contest so stepping up from that extended 2m3f trip looks an obvious plus point. Robin Deuz Pois struck on her second outing for Gordon Elliott at Newcastle and should remain competitive off this 8lb higher mark, while Dubai Devils and West Is Best are other names to note.
