Verdict

Golden Jeffrey finally got his head back in front when making all at Musselburgh, reversing earlier running here with Four Kingdoms. He may take some catching again but has been done no favours by a penalty and QUESTION OF FAITH is preferred. Just beaten by Braes Of Lochalsh over 1m7f here last month, he reversed that form over 1m5f on these terms next time and can come out best of that duo again today. Sugarloaf Mountain is having a first run on Turf since 2016 while Italian Riviera may be in the handicapper’s grip now.
