In depth
Verdict
Hills Of Gold makes his handicap debut at a modest level. Leap Year Lad finally got his head in front at Hamilton and the second has already franked the form. Musselburgh third Gone has won on Polytrack and Turf but we’ll give SOPHIA’S STARLIGHT another chance to prove she handles this surface given she was never in any danger in a novice event at Wolverhampton 10 days ago and is well handicapped on that effort. Farhhfromforgotten will strip fitter for a run at Pontefract and is also having a first run in a handicap.
