Arch Moon won a higher grade contest at Wetherby and may well defy a 4lb rise in this. Roll It In Glitter has been in good form at Beverley but the less-exposed HILLS OF GOLD is open to improvement over this longer trip so a chance is taken on Michael Dods’ charge. Golden Valour was beaten only a neck over track and trip recently but this is tougher but Ayr Poet is back on a winning mark and finished closer at Musselburgh last time.
