Verdict

The filly Maygold arrives here on the back of a career-best effort at Goodwood and while her 5lb rise might not ground ambitions, firmer ground does raise a question, ensuring she's likely to look short enough in the betting. Our Lord was a big success for this trainer last season and should come on for his reappearance at Bath, the former C&D winner isn't passed over easily. HANDYTALK however is one that does relish quick ground and after a positive effort at Bath last time, the 5lb claim on his back could be key today. The lightly-raced Always Amazing is very much one to note in the betting.
