In depth
Verdict
Oliver's Gold and Emma Todd deserve a change of luck having finished second five times on a row. The partnership are unlikely to be far away but could find one too good again in the shape of useful pointer FATEH, who was still travelling strongly when brought down at Ffos Las 10 days ago and looks to be on a lenient mark. Ringaringarosie has won two of her last three but was behind Oliver's Gold here in between and is worse off at the weights. Worcester third Flints Legacy and dual course winner Lough Kent may be the pick of the remainder.
