Verdict

Back on turf, GOLDSMITH shaped well having been left with plenty to do at Sandown 13 days ago and he's on a workable mark based on his all-weather form. The 4-y-o can build on his latest effort to record a first success on this surface, though Darvel arrives on the back of a win last time and is feared most. Kimifive completes the shortlist.

  1. GOLDSMITH (IRE)
