Gold Chain is a standing dish around here and won off a higher mark over course and distance in May. However, she’s much better on good ground or better so is probably worth opposing today. Pat's Oscar was engaged here yesterday so that run should be monitored but Richard Johnson prefers Munstead Pride. CHILLY MISS is a little one-paced and has no form on going this soft but it could help offset her lack of an extra gear so she gets the nod.
