Verdict
TWO FOR GOLD (NAP) looks a real chasing type but showed he was no slouch over hurdles when making all at Wetherby. An earlier fourth in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham was an even better effort and he can account for the other two previous winners in this. Know The Score easily landed the odds at Hexham after a pipe-opener at Chepstow and also looks a decent novice. Course and distance winner Trio For Rio ran in a Grade 2 at Sandown subsequently but never got near the principals. He’ll enjoy the return to a longer trip and can’t be ignored.
