A poor bumper to conclude with but we will side with Search For Gold while Goodwill Phil and Miss Carroll are both worth noting in the betting market. The selection is the pick on form showing a decent level of ability when third of sixteen at Fontwell on his debut. He was a big price that day and will not have to improve much to score here. Goodwill Phil has finished fourth on each of his last two runs. He was backed on his debut from 50¿s to 14¿s and was not beaten that far that day. He then showed no improvement when fourth of eight though at Huntington thereafter. He is now having his first run for new connections who like to have a tilt at the ring so any market moves should be noted. Miss Carroll was nearer last than first on her debut at Uttoxeter but she does come from a big yard so is given respect. But for the winner we return to Search For Gold.
