Brought up a quick-fire hat-trick at Wolverhampton in February and not far off his best when respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) the following month. Likely player on return to action here.

14/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (6f, firm) 57 days ago, left poorly placed. Dropped further 3 lb since and is worth monitoring in the market on debut for new yard.

Largely acquitted himself well in sprint handicaps this term and likely wasn't suited by longer trip/softer ground at Beverley latest. Can make presence felt.

Verdict

GOLDEN PROSPERITY arrives in good form and looks the safest option in a tricky-looking opener. Piperstown and Captain Pickles should also go well.
