Verdict
Gofagold has shown a fair level of form in similar company and can finally get off the mark in a race that shouldn't take much winning. Misty Ridge would have claims on his second over course and distance last summer but has not been seen since getting no further than the first at Sedgefield last October. Help Yourself was a narrow bumper winnrt at Wetherby before flopping in testing conditions next time and may do better on this quicker surface while Chivvy Charver is rated capable of better than he's shown to date and may also prove a danger.
