Verdict
Tripartite was having only his fourth start when winning on faster going at Doncaster and should be thereabouts again if handling the easier surface. Unnoticed is probably fairly treated but has only won at Wolverhampton so far. Former Godolphin inmate Gold Hunter hinted at a revival at Chepstow earlier this month and With Approval could be interesting if transferring his all-weather form back to Turf. Kitaaby still has time on his side but GOLDEN WEDDING will be difficult to keep out of the firing-line. He's weighted to reverse recent form with Gold Hunter and gets the nod.
