Auriferous²¹

5/1

Didn't need to be at best when winning 6-runner minor event at Southwell (12.1f, 2/5) 21 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Doesn;t appear to be straightforward and there's no guarantee he gets this longer trip.

Forecasts

Bandinelli (5/4), Moliwood (9/2), Auriferous (5/1), Imperium (11/2), Justus (16/1), Alright Sunshine (22/1), Pistoletto (25/1), Sir Chauvelin (28/1), Hiroshima (40/1), Finniston Farm (50/1)

BANDINELLI looked well suited by the step up to this trip when a comfortable winner over C&D 4 months ago. Knowing his stable, he'll likely be ready for this reappearance, so he gets the nod ahead of the likeable Imperium, who will benefit from the return to this track. Moliwood is another to consider.
