        Verdict

        Smart hurdler Goshen returns to the Flat for the first time since finishing third here back in 2020 while stablemate Aggagio has also been winning over timber. But SARATOGA GOLD (NAP) beat Mellow Magic with Cherry Cola and Nellie Moon further behind when scoring over 1m6f here on his reappearance and first start gelded and there looks more to come over this extra distance. Cloud Thunder beat Single over today’s trip at Newbury last autumn though it was heavy ground on that occasion.
