Goathland has had just four runs in maidens but was beaten less than a length by an 86-rated rival off levels at Haydock so has to be considered off 80 on his handicap debut. BOLD APPEAL made all for a comfortable victory at Chepstow then didn't appreciate restraint when beaten at odds-on at Beverley and he was conceding a stone to the winner. He had Man Look behind in that earlier victory and should confirm the form while Tadpole, who had looked progressive, didn't act in heavy going at Brighton when last of three. Mikandy's victories have all been over must shorter trips.
