BUBBLES OF GOLD was just beaten by a subsequent winner over 2m6f at Newcastle before failing to stay 3m at Uttoxeter. A drop in distance should prove ideal and Olly Murphy’s charge should have too much for the exposed mare Lady Camelot, who lacks an extra gear. Imperial Elixir will need plenty of improvement to figure and the once-raced Article Of War is even harder to fancy.
