      Verdict

      It’s difficult to be confident about any of these but GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY may do better on this surface having failed to land the odds on the Fibresand at Southwell when dropped back to 5f last time. A winner over 7f, Killermont Street is another looking to put a below par run behind her as she drops down a grade, while Marquee Club remains 5lb higher than his win at Bath back in September. Skellig Michael may finish closer on only his second start handicapping after a modest fourth at Kempton and is preferred to the remaining pair.
