Gold Flash attempts to land a treble but this is tougher than the claimer he won at Wolverhampton last time. Honiara disappointed when favourite at Kempton though still finished ahead of Loyalty having gone close at Lingfield before that when just in front of Evening Attire. Pearl Spectre won off a similar mark over 6f here back in November but CURZON LINE gets a tentative vote in an open contest. He was caught in the final furlong over 7f at Newcastle on his latest outing and a similar effort should see him bang there at the finish once again.
