Verdict

Golden Future is up 8lb for his much improved effort at Catterick last month when scoring over today's trip with a bit to spare. He should go well along with Odin's Raven, who will have come on for a recent pipe-opener at Pontefract. Royal Swain is slowly dropping back down towards a winning mark and Wolverhampton third Wild Desert makes more appeal then plating winner Overrule although PITTODRIE STAR finished just ahead of the top weight at Wolverhampton last time. The latter has only found one too good on his last couple of starts over today's trip and David O'Meara's charge is given another chance to go one better here.
