There's plenty to like about GOLD EMERY, who looked promising when making a winning Rules debut in February and this former point winner can be expected to progress now that he moves up in trip for this handicap bow. Rae des Champs should come on for her reappearance spin at Newcastle and, like the selection, she is open to improvement. Locks Corner and Eternally Yours both enter calculations, too.
