close up on outside, not fluent 4 out, led approaching 3 out, ridden and headed before 2 out, soon weakened
Glimpse Of Gold is the epitome of consistency and is the likely pace angle in this. Sofia's Rock has won five times over hurdles but left Dan Skelton’s yard after landing a Market Rasen seller last month. Cogital is fit from the Flat and was a winner the last time he was seen over hurdles but Technological has gone up 3lb for a narrow defeat over track and trip last month. Second to the smart Aucunrisque at Plumpton in April, MIDNIGHTS LEGACY won over 1m4f at Epsom in July and has the class to defy top weight. Nazwa sports blinkers for the first time but needs further.
