    Verdict

    GOLDEN RULES will likely prove a warm order in this having just missed out over 1m4f at Ascot last time to a much higher rated horse. John Gosden’s colt should have the measure of these given Lanval and Irish Master have shown little so far and Tampere looks the only danger fitted with headgear after finishing third over 1m2f here.
