Verdict

Grey Gold has a tough task on his hands under a welter burden in these conditions, but another very competitive effort looks on the cards with his rider's claim to assist. Much of that applies also to SPECIAL CATCH, who also gets further than this, which looks a plus on the forecast ground. Although he has already won on heavy, perhaps it was just a bit too deep for him on his reappearance and he is suggested to come back from that with a positive response. Pistol Park made an uncharacteristic jumping error last time, but with a clear round he should be involved, while marathon traveller Ut Majeur Aulmes has to be respected. Ifandbutwhynot and Takingrisks each has the ability, though their records when fresh are not red hot and market checks are suggested.
