Book of Gold has dropped to a lenient mark when scoring by 12 lengths at Warwick and is 8ln higher now, though Harrison Beswick claims back 5lb of that. DINO BOY made a winning start over fences an incident-packed race at Wetherby. On that evidence, the extra yardage here will suit and he’s worth sticking with. Putdecashonthedash has been showing promise at Taunton and receives weight all round and Vango De Vaige looks fairly treated on his fencing bow, though hasn’t raced since March. Loud As Lions had Nearly Perfect well behind at Hereford but was then pulled up at Ludlow.
