In depth
Verdict
Northern Gold represents a shrewd yard and is one of a few who are dropped in class here. The performance of Wunders Dream at Newmarket this week advertised the fact that the yard is in form, and he looks the one to beat. Burning Truth has a good record here and despite being out of form is running in a more appropriate grade here. Tiger Hunt has some good form in France but has been off the track for nearly two years and is probably best watched.
