Mccools Gold ended last season with a win over 2m at Bath and is 5lb higher on his return. Bamako Du Chatelet won over 1m4f at Wolverhampton in January but remains 4lb higher while the veteran Noguchi is usually thereabouts but hasn’t won since 2015. SNOWY DAWN is another looking to end a long losing run but finished a close-up third over today’s trip on his latest start and may have finally slipped far enough down the weights to get his head back in front.
