A fairly uncompetitive contest which appears to have little strength in depth can go to Touch Of Gold. The TEAMtalk selection shaped well following a three-month break when fourth of 18 in a Newmarket maiden last month before running creditably in a similar event at Newbury next time. William Muir's charge has the best form on offer and should take plenty of beating if adapting to the polytrack surface. Tripti has shown a modest level of form at a lower grade and appears to have something to find while Mynd stepped up on his debut effort when a staying-on third on heavy ground over 5f at Nottingham late last month. However, the latter may have been flattered and is likely to find this too sharp while the remainder need to improve significantly to figure.
