GOLD TOBOUGG is the least exposed having got off the mark at Wolverhampton last month. This extra furlong should suit and David Simcock's filly is taken to follow-up on her handicap debut. Perfect Ch'I has every chance on her placed form on the turf last season, though this her first outing since June, while Bold Ring had been in fine form on Polytrack before last month's poor effort at Lingfield and she's not easily dismissed. Nina Rose has been running well over longer trips and may figure, along with the returning Fedora, who is 5lb higher than October's victory over C&D.
