Verdict

Several promising types on show but there is nevertheless a standout candidate in GOLDEN ACE, who took a significant step forward when making it 3-3 over hurdles in a Grade 2 novice at the Festival. That form has already been significantly boosted, with the second and fourth (Brighterdaysahead and Jade de Grugy) both winning Grade 1s since. Take No Chances is second choice ahead of stablemate Lightening Mahler, while Micks Jet, Ooh Betty and Wyenot all make each-way appeal.

  1. GOLDEN ACE
