ALLTIMEGOLD has gone up 25lb since beginning his winning run but there has been no sign that progress is about to be halted and Connor Brace’s claim takes a chunk out of his latest penalty. Zoltan Varga fell at the first at Huntingdon but would have a chance on previous form. Sir George Somers is one of the least exposed in this field but may need the experience and it’s difficult to make a case for many of the others.
