Verdict

GOLDEN WEDDING won at Newbury and was beaten only a short-head back at the same track last time. Another bold bid is expected from him while Consulting is upped only 3lb for winning at Kempton recently and is preferred to Lingfield maiden winner Clever Bob. Baltic Prince has been threatening a return to winning ways with placed efforts at Chester and Brighton while Fever Few is now back on a winning mark and may also figure. Land Of Dubai makes her handicap debut and that may bring about improvement from her.
