Irish raider Sbraase went close at Sligo last month and won three times here for his former yard. Coral Queen was having her first start since 2015 when placed at Newcastle last week and should be sharper but FILAMENT OF GOLD gets another chance back on the all-weather having won at Bath last month given Roy Brotherton’s charge scored off a higher mark over course and distance last year. Kirkland Forever was getting closer until disappointing at Yarmouth last time and Melabi failed to build on an earlier second at Beverley when only fifth on his latest start.
