Anticipating good pressure with many of these at the races for the first time. This should prove a good form race. SKY OF GOLD (8) debuted in stronger company and there was merit in the effort. Resumes owning a trial win here and has a handy 2kg claim and a low barrier. Has the ability, and as with others in this race, the betting will be key. CELESTIAL GLOW (5) resumes and has been unlucky not to have broken through. Has an awkward gate but will be naturally improved and has had a soft trial. TIMELY NEEDS (4) debuts and placed in a strong trial at the track. The gate isn't ideal, but Darmanin's engagement suggests he's pleasing the yard. SWIFT FORCE (9) debuts and has won all three trials, with the most recent at this track. Jumps from the inside barrier and looks set to race well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Sky Of Gold.
