In depth
Verdict
Gold Standard has placed over 2m on the all-weather but has never won beyond 1m4f. Russian Rumour was readily outpaced by Thibault here last month but the winner has won again over hurdles since. CATBIRD SEAT may yet to be capable of better on Turf so gets the nod with Your Love Is King last of four having a first try over the trip at Wolverhampton. Vin Rouge was a fair third over 1m6f at Salisbury but is now 0-12.
