Verdict
Donald McCain had a fancied runner in the opener and it’s not difficult to see the largely-unexposed Thyne For Gold running well in a race like this. Firmount Gent sports cheekpieces in his first run for the Skeltons and is worth a market check. Primo Rossi was placed over 2m here on his fencing bow but was behind Romeo Is Bleeding. BOLD DUKE looks to have the stronger form so gets a tentative vote to make it third-time lucky over the larger obstacles.
