Verdict

Having displayed plenty of ability on the level, LOVE IS GOLDEN made a seamless transition to hurdling for new connections at Newbury 11 days ago and on that evidence he's up to defying a penalty. Shared is the main threat if shrugging off a lesser effort at Musselburgh.

  1. LOVE IS GOLDEN (IRE)
  2. SHARED
