Rated 65, Threefeetfromgold sets the standard and though it’s not a very high one, most of today’s opposition have been well beaten so far. Mount Mogan may be the best of them on last month’s fifth at Kempton but it’s not difficult to see one of the newcomers proving good enough. Salkeev should be noted for any strong support representing Archie Watson’s yard and is preferred to a Ahorsecalledwanda but a speculative vote goes to LUA DE MEL, a half-sister to a dual winner over today’s trip on the all-weather.
