Golanova was almost two lengths behind THE ITALIAN YOB at Fontwell last time and is only a pound better off. Nick Williams’ charge should confirm that running and can finally get his head back in front in what looks a weak finale. Gold Mountain was third here two runs ago before being an early casualty at Chepstow and makes more appeal than Duke Arcadio, who hasn’t built on early promise.
