Verdict
GOLD CHAIN is running well and was only beaten a neck at Kelso last week. She represents the same trainer/jockey combination that won this 12 months ago so has obvious claims. Gurkha Brave arrives off the back of a maiden hurdle victory at Worcester and Blue Ridge Lane won over course and distance earlier this month. Goal is starting to look well treated but Amilliontimes may struggle to confirm recent running with Dynamic Drive on worse terms and connections of Little Pop would have preferred more rain. Brave Spartacus is unlikely to have the speed for this.
