Verdict
Gold Story finished runner-up for the fifth time in succession here on Tuesday. He's never beaten far but is obviously not one to inspire confidence and has a bit to find on earlier running with TOBY TYLER anyway. The latter beat him over C&D recently and gets a 6lb penalty here, but the form of that race is working out well with third-placed Dancing Freddy having won since. Cape Of Storms won here in December but ran poorly off a higher mark last time when Bel Cantor finished in front of him and the latter makes more appeal.
