Golly, Nobel Bleu de Kerpau and Emerald Destiny are three against the field in another wide-open affair and the vote is given to Golly. The selection was a good second behind Hurlers Cross last time out. That form looks solid and with the drop in trip also looking to be in his favour he looks the one to be on. Nobel Bleu de Kerpau rates the main danger on his latest second behind Willandrich but he was one-paced at the end of that contest so the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip in time. Emerald Destiny is another that could go well on his latest second behind Chukchi Country. However he is rising in the weights without winning and he looks opposable on that basis. Nagano is well weighted on his best form but the suspicion is he may just need the run after a 505-day break. However Golly has plenty of ticks in the right boxes and he looks the one to be on.
