Verdict

TURNING GOLD won a handicap over course and distance back in February but his last two runs have left a lot to be desired. However, he’s had a break so gets a tentative vote. Ambassador has an even longer absence to overcome and has changed stables since last seen while Fancy Foundations has plenty to prove at present. Marajman also looks out of sorts but Enthused is probably better than he showed at Sedgefield.
