Heights Of Golan can gain compensation at the expense of Mighty Kitchener and Dansimar. The selection appeared unlucky to receive a disqualification for minor interference last time out but provided that he does not race too keenly, he possesses an obvious chance in a race that is of similarly weak standard. Mighty Kitchener is nothing special but that hasn't stopped the handicapper penalising for two victories. He stays this trip adequately enough. Dansimar would have a fair claim on a third to Ravenna at Thirsk in August. She is currently fifteen without success. Mister Troubridge is watched in the market on return from substantial absence. York Cliff is not running well at present and is avoided. Little Richard appears to need further while Treasure Isle is relatively unexposed and could be anything off her plating mark. Not too many of these appear to hold formbook claims and Heights Of Golan is likely to be a short price as a result.
