SARATOGA GOLD hasn't looked back since the blinkers went on and can boast C&D winning form too so is fancied to complete a quick hat-trick. Eloso also handles this idiosyncratic track well and arrives bidding for his own hat-trick so rates a big threat. In-form Tartan Chief is another who can have a big say in a very competitive handicap.
