Goldenfield bids for a hat-trick but has been raised 9lb for his latest win over 1m4f at Brighton and is also upped in class. Rockspirit won his maiden on good going over track and trip last month and could go well but there was some cut in the ground when GOODWOOD ZODIAC went close at Epsom last time. Bill Knight’s charge drops down a grade for this and can take advantage. Southern Gailes still looks high enough in the weights and the same comment applies to Lilbourne Prince.
