Verdict
Golden Shot makes a belated return to action having ended last year in fine form on the all-weather and is having only his second outing on Turf. But TWO AULD PALS has the more recent form over today’s trip at Hamilton and gets another chance having just missed out on a hat-trick last week. Ghadbbaan is back on a winning mark and placed at Epsom recently while Lednikov is upped in trip after a fourth at Kempton.
