By John O'Riordan - GUNNERY SERGEANT(3) looks to have been presented with a decent opportunity to register a first career success. Despite failing to get his head in front to date, the Gordon Elliott-trained gelding has been placed on a number of occasions including his latest two starts. With an official rating of 102, he sets the standard in an ordinary affair. On the balance of form, the six-year-old looks the one to beat. Beeverstown Boy, who finished a place behind the selection at Sligo last time, rates the biggest threat. Having only his second run on that occasion, he is open to plenty improvement. Kiltinan looks best of the remainder.
