Forecasts

Golden Town (11/10), Dance Rock (2/1), Think Ahead (7/1), Who's For Tea (12/1), Wig Wam Wiggle (12/1), Le Deluge (18/1), Airdrigh (100/1)

Verdict

GOLDEN TOWN won when wearing a visor on the Flat and he can get off the mark over hurdles with that equipment re-applied for the first time since 2014. Think Ahead was a very useful Flat performer for Saeed Bin Suroor and it's worth forgiving him his disappointing hurdling debut at Newcastle while Who's For Tea, favourite when beaten on her only bumper start can claim third.
