      Verdict

      It's difficult to get past GOLDEN FIREBIRD here. She carries a penalty for her debut win at Cheltenham in April when she had today's rival Flat Cap Thursday five lengths behind, but Alan King's filly should have improved since her last start at Punchestown in May. The latter re-opposes on better terms and looks the one most likely to follow the selection home, unless the newcomers Midnight Minx and Whatagoa are above average, as the remaining duo have shown nothing so far.
