A cracking renewal of the Gosforth Park Cup. Defending champion Copper Knight has flourished since taking this contest from a 12lb lower mark in 2018, and has been in tip-top form on the Knavesmire at York in May beating both Foolaad and Eeh Bah Gum. The fast improving four-year-old's Makanah and Puds are impossible to rule out of contention such has been their level of progression, but this represents a sterner test. Robert Cowell holds a strong hand with C&D winner Encore D'or a possible. However, with the Epsom Dash holding plenty of clues, it is his well-handicapped stablemate BLUE DE VEGA who gets the nod in anticipation of a 'burn-up'.
