Verdict
Glowing For Gold ran well over track and trip a week ago despite carrying a penalty for an earlier success at Goodwood. Golden Crusader may do better over this longer trip having placed over a mile at Goodwood but SIDE SHOT is a half-brother to former Gosden inmate Shutter Speed, a Group 2 winner over today’s distance, and the Frankel colt gets the vote to come good in this. Maxine is another upped in trip after a better effort at Kempton and may prove best of the rest.
