In depth
Verdict
Pauntley Gofa has the ground in his favour as he tackles two and a half miles for the first time here. He has taken to fences well and if his stamina last out he will be hard to beat. However, Dominikus hails from a stable that is beginning to find it's form again and may provide the sternest test to Pauntley Gofa. He has stamina to burn and could represent the slightly better value after going close at Hexam last time.
