Renounce should figure on his first start since March having finished runner-up at Chelmsford on his racecourse debut. But DUTCH GOLDEN AGE has a recent run under his belt at the same track where he started favourite and finished second and Gary Moore's charge is taken to make amends in this. Moon Eyes is more exposed but usually makes the frame and finished ahead of Colorada when third at Kempton recently while Picket Line may do better back over today's shorter trip judged on an earlier placed effort at Kempton.
