Gold Soverign can follow up on his debut and win this at the expense of Gyroscope and Urban Spirit. The selection won his debut at Lingfield on his debut at odds of 1/11. He looked a certainty on breeding and hype that day and won with his head in his chest. He has more on his plate here but running off a mark of ninety he could be well treated and Godolphin must be confident of further success. Of his rivals Gyroscope looks the biggest danger. He is only four pounds higher for winning a handicap at Yarmouth last time out and can once again run well. As can Urban Spirit who won off a mark of eighty six over course and distance and is now two pounds higher for finishing second to Teslin at the same track last time out.That was a good effort and he has a chance but for the winner we return to Gold Soverign.
