Dual winner GOLD MINE was off the track for nearly two years but showed he still retains plenty of ability when going close at Kempton last week. He can reward his trainer's patience with a victory in this. Into The Wind made a decent reappearance at Windsor but fast ground may a problem for her while Sherman McCoy and Sunny Future made failed attempts to stay 2m on their latest starts and both should finish closer today. Nave needs to improve on his third at Brighton but may do so with Darren Egan's allowance helping his cause.
