Verdict
Satish was beaten only ahead over track and trip last month but ROCK ‘N GOLD is less exposed. The latter was expected to do better over 1m2f here last time but this longer trip should suit. Lord Topper has placed over 1m3f and Going Up went close over 1m1f at Carlisle back in August. Potters Lady Jane was second over a shorter trip here during the summer and the previous bumper winner is not out of this either.
