Half of these are course winners but only Ciotog and Never In Fourth have also won over the trip. The former pulled too hard at Chelmsford after scoring here ,where he had the latter behind, and looks best of the pair. Ring Of Gold struck form around this time last year and looked on the way back at Southwell though hasn't won from a mark this high. GLORY AND GOLD had been a beaten favourite five times in a row before getting off the mark at Catterick. This is her first start on the surface but she has more to offer and can complete a double.
