Verdict
GOLDEN GOAL is the least exposed here, having made a winning start when scoring over track and trip earlier this month and the Godolphin colt is worth sticking with in this. Etikaal also won over course and distance last time but has been raised 10lb while Dark Side Dream won here on his penultimate start and can figure back over 7f today. Joey's Destiny landed a claimer at Wolverhampton last time and North Creek scored over today’s trip at Kempton last month.
