GRAND GOLD had today's rival Maastricht behind when beaten by the narrowest of margins at Ripon last time. Mick Channon's charge can open his account here with further progress expected. Saeed Bin Suroor's record here is nothing to shout home about but Mizbah is expected to improve on his recent debut effort, while Rhianna Brianna should also do better given she missed the break at Thirsk on her debut. Night Flash and Way Of Love are bred for longer trips, but fellow newcomer Well Wishes' pedigree is packed with speed and she's one to note.
