Effortless Gowran win franked recently; exciting prospect could prove the Mullins pick

Cheltenham seventh when things didn't go to plan so could get closer this time

Cheltenham fifth when taking a keen hold; more possible if settling better

Cheltenham eighth still a work in progress and likely improver so place prospects
