This looks a good opportunity for the relatively unexposed GOLD MOUNTAIN to gain his first win over fences. He's taking a drop back in trip here but there seems no reason he won't be effective at it - indeed he may even improve for it, and if repeating his Taunton form, must go close. Irish Thistle is hard to win with but is more likely to run his race than a few here., and he and recent Fontwell scorer Bredon Hill Lad can both take some prizemoney home.
