Verdict
Hardrock Davis has won a couple of minor points at Friars Haugh since the turn of the year but we’ll take a chance on the fitness of Justin Landy’s SIR LONICA, who looked a nice prospect when recording a couple of wide-margin wins at the start of last year under Joe Wright. Beyond Gold made a belated winning debut in a maiden point at Corbridge in February but is two years older than the more-experienced Costly Dream, who has had three runs under Rules.
