Gold Bullet had looked promising before sustaining an injury at Punchestown in April and should soon be returning to form. LETTER OF CREDIT beat the useful Baily Green over fences at Killarney and though unplaced in the Plate on his next start this represents a big drop in class and he looks the one to be on. Urano has run well in three handicaps recently, the latest over the track and trip, so he should be thereabouts as should Shantou Flyer, who scored at the Festival from what looked a very decent field of beginners. The mare Perfect Promise has a fine chance as she ran her best race to date in a tough handicap at the Festival and is still on the upgrade.
