      Verdict

      It would be foolish to rule out Grey Gold as he's bounced back before from disappointing efforts before and Kerry Lee's chasers have been running out of their skins lately. Dresden is no slouch and Dance Floor King would have a chance at the weights if fully wound-up. Oscar Sunset found dropping in distance no problem over track and trip earlier this month and is still progressing over fences but ARTHUR'S OAK, a grand type, has started to fulfil some of his potential this season and can shrug off another 4lb weight rise for winning narrowly at Sandown.
