Gilded Age is weighted reverse C&D running with the winner Salontyre from early in the season. Neither have raced since May, however, and Lucky Diva is a more recent winner over track and trip though this is tougher. Sunny Future is another C&D winner and he makes more appeal off a 4lb higher mark today while No Time Lose and Wayne Manor scored over 2m on the Polytrack recently. WELSH BARD also won on the all-weather last time when stepped up to 1m6f. In a manner typical of one from his yard, he's expected to show further progress over this longer trip and can follow-up.
