Hills Of Gold runs his first maiden having tried his luck in handicaps this year. He’s placed in half of his six career starts and would be thereabouts again on his best form but MUBHIJAH should enjoy a much-deserved change of luck having a first start for Ed Walker. She has finished second five times in better races than this. True Nation took a big step forward when runner-up at Catterick but Bustaam is best watched having a first run for new connections following a lay-off.
