        Verdict

        As Good As Gold hasn't shown overmuch in either start since joining Richard Fahey from Ballydoyle although she's clearly entitled to win this on the best of her form for Aidan O'Brien. But she's unlikely to represent anything in the way of value and is taken on with ARMS AROUND ME. Bryan Smart's gelding has improved run-by-run and a repeat of his seasonal reappearance when runner-up to Don't Touch will see him definitely in the mix. He holds Questo on latest running though the Waggott gelding remains entitled to respect along with Farrah's Choice, the latter having displayed a fair level of ability in a couple of ordinary northern maidens.
