Gone Too Far, Top Style and Turn of Phrase are the ones to discuss here, and Gone Too Far is a horse to follow. Top Style has been in good form recently, having won his first two starts of the campaign, he was just touched off at Redcar, going down by a head. He will be a tough nut to crack. Turn of Phrase is an outsider worth considering. He ran his best race for some time when finishing fast behind Red River Rebel at Beverley last time and is on the upgrade. Gone Too Far however cannot be opposed. He has won both his starts this season with authority, and both his successes have come at Musselburgh. He enjoys these amateur rider affairs, and looks one to follow until beaten. Gone Too Far, who has been given a break, can complete the hat-trick.
