An interesting opener with easy Sedgefield winner Bulkov and recent Musselburgh renegade Some Reign each trying to defy penalties, though the suggestion is to take them on with GOING GOLD. Richard Hobson's charge showed that he retains ability with a decent effort in a bumper on his return from a year off the track and his trainer wastes no time in sending him out over hurdles. He might be able to take advantage of the weight that he receives from the principals. Quest For Life and Sliding Doors are potential improvers, while Multellie is the most eyecatching debutante on paper and a big run would not surprise.
