11/4
Lightly-raced 4-y-o who resumed with stylish victory at Kempton. Record mixed since but shaped as if back in form when midfield in good York handicap (11.8f) 2 weeks ago, staying on. Not discounted.

9/1
Useful consistent sort in France for Pascal Bary (successful 3 times at up to 10.4f). Yet to scale same heights in 3 starts for present yard and he needs to step up again tackling this longer trip.

Temperamental sort who ended losing run at Lingfield (12f, AW) in March. Most disappointing here (12f) on penultimate start but did at least run better when fourth at Yarmouth (10f) 5 days ago.

Useful juvenile who has contested some good races this term, running as well as could be expected when sixth in Group 3 Geoffrey Freer (13.3f) 3 weeks ago. One to consider dropped back in trip/grade.

Regained winning thread at Chester (12.3f) 4 weeks ago and did as well as he could when runner-up behind a smart prospect in Lanark Silver Bell handicap at Hamilton last week. Big player.

Forecasts

Love Is Golden (5/4), My Frankel (11/4), Recovery Run (3/1), Bugle Major (9/1), Protected Guest (22/1)

Verdict

A winner at Chester early last month, LOVE IS GOLDEN ran another solid race without proving a match for a smart prospect at Hamilton 7 days ago. He gets the nod to resume winning ways in receipt of weight all round, with Recovery Run and My Frankel next best.

  1. LOVE IS GOLDEN (IRE)
  2. RECOVERY RUN
  3. MY FRANKEL
