Verdict

ROHAAN ran well in the Ayr Gold Cup last time and gets the vote on last year’s form at this venue. He landed a Group 3 sprint over track and trip at this time last season having earlier won the Wokingham off a 7lb higher mark than today. King's Lynn and Lethal Nymph still look high enough in the weights while Russet Gold returned a beaten favourite here last month behind the runner-up Redemption Time having earlier placed in the Shergar Cup Sprint. Tiger Crusade and Silver Samurai have both won at Newmarket this season where the latter beat subsequent Sandown second Mitrosonfire.
