There is no doubting Tuscan Gold's stamina as he was third over 2m6f at Pontefract last month. Kodicil is 4lb higher than winning over course and distance in September but is fit from a campaign jumping. Serenity Now has run in bumpers and hurdles but is having his first start on Turf on the Flat today while Lady Yeats hasn't raced since beating Arcamante by a neck at Newcastle in October and the runner-up, who had a run three weeks ago, is 2lb better off today. It would be no surprise to SARPECH (NAP) leave his previous form behind now upped in trip. He has a superb pedigree and can take this en route to bigger and better things. Hurdler Rumble Of Thunder looks the pick of the remainder.
