Verdict

TWO FOR GOLD has made a bright start to his career with four wins in six starts and two from three over hurdles with the only blip a 4¼L fourth to Supreme Novices third favourite Elixir De Nutz; indeed all three who finished ahead of him there are set to run in Festival Grade Ones. He gets the nod ahead of fellow novice Pistol Whipped who is highly unexposed and represents the champion trainer who has no parallels with novice hurdlers. Sussex Ranger is proven at this level and expected to go well.
