The last seven runs of GOLDEN GAL (NAP) have all been here, but the daughter of Galileo Gold has been unable to build on a cosy success on the first of those seven runs. She's returned from wind surgery in improved form and has only gone down by half a length the last twice. She's down to the same mark off which she scored in August and sets the recent form standard. Street Life has been rather in and out in four starts this year with the best of his efforts coming on the all-weather. He is the danger if on a 'going day.' Sherdil needs to put a poor effort behind him but is respected on the best of last season's form and Redzone has simply proved hard to catch right for quite a while now.
Sherdil (IRE) 14-1 (9-5) Held up towards rear, switched right over 2f out, hung left over 1f out, well beaten final furlong, last of 9, 9 3/4l behind Ballyare (9-8) at Wetherby 5f hcp (5) gd in May.
Street Life 11-1 (8-4) Prominent, pushed along and made no impression 2f out, plugged on, 4th of 7, 6 1/2l behind Swayze (9-9) at Haydock 5f hcp (4) gf in May.
Redzone 17-2 (9-9) Chased leaders, jockey having problems with left iron briefly over 4f out, effort over 2f out, stayed on same pace inside final furlong, 5th of 12, 3 1/4l behind Doctor Khan Junior (9-6) at Newcastle 6f hcp (6) pol in May.
Golden Gal (IRE) 10-3 (9-4) Tracked leaders, pushed along 2f out, ridden to chase winner inside final furlong, ran on, 2nd of 8, 1/2l behind Astapor (9-5) at Catterick 5f hcp (6) gf in May.
Golden Prosperity (IRE) 22-1 (9-2) Mid-division, headway on inside chasing leaders halfway, kept on inside final furlong, not pace to challenge, 4th of 11, 2 1/4l behind Imperial Khan (9-8) at Beverley 5f hcp (6) gf in May.
