Golden Salute has only won over 5f so far but this is a sharp 6f so she’s every chance of getting home and completing her hat-trick. NEOLA has been largely plying her trade at an elevated level since winning her maiden at Nottingham in the spring, however. She’s having only her second run in a nursery and can give the weight away. Armum was clearly out of her depth at Royal Ascot and is another who should find this easier but Shania Says has a lot more on her plate than when making all at Wolverhampton. Faithful Promise ran poorly at York and may still be a few pounds too high.
