GOLD TRADE was beaten only a head at Beverley last month when well clear of the rest and Hugo Palmer's colt can land this with a similar effort. Richie Mccaw also ran well at Beverley when not beaten far in fifth and is preferred to recent Wolverhampton fourth Cape Of Glory. The remainder with experience make little appeal and the newcomers will need to be above average to get the better of the selection with Miletaketheball preferred to Equal Point.
