Gold Flash finished behind Charlie Croker when the latter won at Doncaster and may well improve past him today. Rio Ronaldo won a lower grade sprint at Windsor last time where he beat Be Bold and Rahmah opened his account in a maiden at Wolverhampton last month but Little Palaver is preferred on his latest third at Pontefract. Listed winner Accipiter and Mistrusting return to action and could go well but Ryan Moore keeps faith with MAGICAL MEMORY having placed in better company at Newmarket behind the unbeaten Twilight Son last time. Charlie Hills' charge gets the nod to come good again in this.
