Verdict

MARK OF GOLD returns to this sphere on an attractive mark so is fancied to continue his connections' excellent record in this event. Both Thursday (second choice) and Organic arrive in great form and can have a say in this competitive handicap. C&D scorer Miller Spirit, a stablemate of the selection, completes the shortlist.
