Verdict
DAKOTA GOLD gained the last of his six victories on this track in this a year ago when he had Makanah, who will be 2lb better off, a head behind. Both were drawn high that day which is the case again and each has warmed up ready for another crack. The 2021 Ayr Gold Cup winner Bielsa was one of those beaten a year ago but should get much closer on the revised terms. Last Year's Ayr Gold Cup winner Summerghand finished sixth in this last year and has been looking a bit high in the weights since landing a Lingfield Listed contest. Lucky Man wasn't far behind at Ayr and has won around here while Khanjar started favourite that day but was well beaten. Badri was very impressive at Beverley but the assessor hasn't missed him with a 9lb rise taking him on to his highest ever mark. Hyperfocus showed his liking for soft going at Ripon so could do with some rain.
