Verdict

None of these inspire confidence with only a token vote going to MY ROSA’S GOLD on an earlier fourth at Bath. Twilight Tone won at Wolverhampton back in February but is now fitted with blinkers having struggled in both outings on Turf subsequently while Gun Dog and Golden Whisper slip further down the weights with the latter preferred to stablemate Storm Dancer.
