Verdict
GOLDMADCHEN scored by three lengths over course and distance on her only previous start here. She ran well again despite finishing only sixth at Wolverhampton last time and is given another chance. Mcbirney beat previous dual winner Sweet Liberta at Kempton on his latest start though his early efforts on Fibresand leave something to be desired while Stanley Rigby and Mazij are both winners over track and trip but that was back in 2011. Follow The Flag also has the past form to figure and Discay is worth noting on his return to action.
