Verdict

Dutch Gold has failed to trouble the judge since landing the Chester Vase 12 months ago and is probably best watched in a race where the vote goes to The Whistling Teal, who gets the vote over Systematic. The last mentioned lost no caste in defeat behind Gamut in the Jockey Club Stakes last week and has to be respected on ground that should not inconvenience him. Mark Johnston's five-year-old is more likely to handle the ground better than the likes of Sir Michael Stoute's First Charter and John Gosden's Rawyaan. Compton Bolter has claims on his best but hails from a stable yet to really get going this term and preference is for The Whistling Teal. Admittedly Geoff Wragg's eight-year-old has not won for some time but the son of Rudimentary will relish the underfoot conditions and comes from a stable in good form. At the forecast odds, he looks worth a bet.
