Gold Miner doesn’t have many miles on the clock but there can’t be much improvement to come from the nine-year-old, who is tried in cheekpieces today. Last One To Show has also been lightly raced but Huntingdon winner Haas Boy may be more progressive and should make a bold bid to defy his penalty. WHERE’S HECTOR (NAP) was too keen when failing to land the odds over course and distance last month but should have too much pace for these if settling better today.
