Verdict

TWO FOR GOLD has been given a chance by the handicapper (dropped 3 lb) since unseating in the Topham chase last season and he tends to save his best efforts for his seasonal debut, so he gets the narrow vote ahead of The Wolf, who is also reappearing. Fidux is likely to give a good account and is also respected.

  1. TWO FOR GOLD (IRE)
  2. THE WOLF (FR)
  3. FIDUX (FR)
