Verdict

This is far from a strong renewal of this Grade 2 which acts as a Gold Cup trial although its hard to see many of this field making the gig. NATIVE RIVER successful in 2017 and 2018 in this when beating a couple of rivals each time faces a bigger field this time but in a way a lesser challenge and he should take this comfortably. Sifting through the field there don’t appear to be many dangers especially with likely second favourite and old adversary of the selection Might Bite a shadow of his former self. It may well be that Secret Investor is the main danger his previous form giving him a chance at this level. Of the others the progressive Two Amigos makes the most appeal.
  1. Native River
  2. Secret Investor
  3. The Two Amigos
