        Verdict

        TURNING GOLD (NAP) had been running well before scoring at Yarmouth then defied a 6lb rise for a very easy victory there a few days later. He's been hit with a massive 19lb rise but can run with a 6lb penalty here so has to be the one to be on. Rigoletto showed the benefit of his opening run when landing a Yarmouth maiden then followed up on ground with some give here. He's up another 6lb but is obviously progressing and should make a bold bid. Angel Down won a Windsor maiden in August and didn't run so well on Polytrack on his first two starts this season but bounced back on ground with some give here last month. He's just 4lb higher and can make his presence felt as can Time's Arrow, who has taken a while to get the hang of the job and had a simple task at Thirsk.
