        Verdict

        This looks like being a contest between Trooper’s Gold, who ran well in a decent looking race at Doncaster and, PRAZERES who gave a good account of himself in a strong Newbury maiden on his debut. He built on that start with a solid second at this course last time out and can go one better over this longer trip. Portledge may fare better at this level after being outclassed at York and Areen Heart looks the most interesting of the newcomers.
