GOLD HUNTER carries 6lb extra for last week’s course and distance success but Adrian Wintle’s charge scored by over two lengths on that occasion and can go in again. It was soft going when Kinglami beat Field of Vision over track and trip last month and the latter was still well beaten when runner-up over 7f here last time. The Lamplighter finished closer at Windsor recently without threatening the winner though is still preferred to Major Valentine.
