Gold Merlion won over today’s trip earlier this year but has been competing over further without success recently. Broughtons Knight looks no nearer winning despite slipping down the weights but Struck By The Moon drops in class after finishing last on her handicap debut at Newcastle last month. KOHINOOR DIAMOND would normally be overlooked stepping up in trip after three modest efforts over 6f in maiden company last year but she’s trained by Sir Mark Prescott, who excels with similar types, and much better is expected from her today.
