It was soft ground when Goldslinger won over track and trip recently with Bernisdale beaten six lengths in second. But the former is upped 13lb as he bids for a hat-trick so BOLD APPEAL gets the nod. The latter was only beaten a length at Salisbury last time in better company than this and Patrick O'Donnell's allowance further helps his cause. Ring Eye won over course and distance before finding 2m beyond him while though Distant High was runner-up over track and trip before going one better over 1m2f here last time he is 6lb higher today.
