      Verdict

      Lovers' Gait bids for a hat-trick of course and distance victories raised 4lb and is preferred to Mr Top Hat, who went close at Windsor last time. MARK OF GOLD (NAP) was returned a losing favourite when runner-up at Pontefract on his handicap debut but the form looks better in hindsight with the winner going in again and Richard Hannon’s colt gets another chance in this. More Than A Prince has something to prove over this far on his first start for a new yard and Lingfield winner Dartington is another attempting 1m2f for the first time. Uther Pendragon won over track and trip in June and returns to this venue for the first time since.
