Thelongwayaround, Starozov and Stoney Rover all have form between the flags and the former is relatively unexposed and has joined a powerful northern stable. But it will be disappointing if GOLDENCARD can’t build on his placed form in bumpers to land this for Keith Dalgleish. None of the others make much appeal on what they’ve shown so far.
