PRIORS GOLD doesn't win very often nowadays but was only beaten a nose in an arguably better contest at Ludlow last month and repeat of that form should see him home in front. The four-year-old Bountiful Catch drops into this grade for the first time and must have some sort of chance while Parhelion has shown some ability, though would probably prefer a faster surface. Molaise Lad has gone off the boil lately but looks the pick of the remainder.
