Verdict

Mininggold has been in winning form at Southwell but is best on the Fibresand and Archimedes went close at the same track recently. The latter had earlier fallen victim to TATHMEEN over course and distance and Antony Brittain’s charge is fancied to go in again raised only 2lb having joined his current yard off a much higher mark back in November. Gowanbuster ran well over 6f here recently but Lord Of The Glen has plenty to find with the selection.
