TENNESSEE GOLD appeals as the most solid proposition in a tricky contest, with Joseph Parr's gelding arriving on the back of another sound effort. Smart Hero starts life in handicaps from an attractive mark and could prove well treated if a recent gelding operation has helped to curb his headstrong tendencies, whilst American Bay remains difficult to rule out despite yet failing to build on the promise of his encouraging return.
