5/2

Good third over an extended 1m at Nottingham (good-to-firm) last October. Well held last of four over this trip at Yarmouth (good) on seasonal debut three weeks ago however. Market support would be notable on handicap debut.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| OR: 71

Gold Fleece¹⁰³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: James Doyle| T: H Palmer| OR: 68

Earl Of Harrow¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M R Channon| OR: 65

11/1

Fair effort in finishing fifth in a 1m6f contest at Wetherby (good-to-soft) when making his handicap debut earlier this month. First start since being gelded on that occasion and drop in trip looks likely to suit.

Form: 886-5

16/1

Maiden after eight starts and held in handicaps over 1m2f in two starts since returning from a break. More needed stepping up in distance.

Forecasts

Vexed (5/2), Mr Zoom Zoom (7/2), Sky Cross (7/1), Monsieur Lambrays (15/2), Gold Fleece (8/1), Natty Night (9/1), Earl Of Harrow (11/1), Cromwell (16/1), Ring Cycle (25/1), Bolt N Brown (25/1)

GOLD FLEECE is bred to appreciate this step up in distance and she can get off the mark at the first attempt in handicaps by taking this competitive three-year-old only handicap. The selection can get the better of fellow handicap debutant Bolt N Brown who ran well when placed at Kempton last time out. Third place can go to Mr Zoom Zoom who ran well here on his most recent start.
