A few with chances, but GOLD LINK looks the way to go here as he goes into handicaps with more to offer and the form of his recent second at Market Rasen is proving strong. High Change heads the list of dangers now he's got back on track for his new stable, with Warwick-scorer Jaisalmer weighted to have a say too.
