      Verdict

      Protected Guest looks up against it again while My Frankel is proving hard to catch right and Bugle Major is upped in trip. LOVE IS GOLDEN (NAP) beat a subsequent winner at Chester and improved again to finish second at Hamilton last week. He’ll be 2lb higher from next week and looks the one to be on in this. Recovery Run beat Lone Eagle in his maiden last year but has struggled in decent company this season, though was a fair third at Goodwood two runs ago.
