    Verdict

    GOLD OPERA won on this card last year and again here in December. He beat Caraline four lengths to score at Newcastle recently and can confirm running, despite the worse terms. The latter failed to complete when fancied at Newcastle on Tuesday so Mumgos Debut may prove a bigger threat to the selection stepping back up in trip today after placing over 2m here last month.
