      Verdict

      Both Gossip Column and Amazing Michele won on the same card at Chester last week though the former has been raised 6lb. Epaulement is 5lb higher than when scoring over course and distance last month while Exhort has gone up the same amount after winning over today’s trip at Ayr. The latter makes most appeal of the above but improvement is expected from DIVE FOR GOLD now handicapping for the first time and John Gosden’s unexposed colt gets the vote having already won over 1m2f. Deyaarna sports first-time headgear and Broken Force was due to run here yesterday.
