Expecting Sweet Cheval to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. GOLDEN AGE (6) is well and truly overdue. Has been an age since a win but recent form has been strong without breaking through. Placed in a 50k BM78 two back then close-up fourth in a 60k race last time. This looks ideal and is expected to go close again. MONT SAINT MICHEL (2) is back in grade but also back in trip and jumps from a wide gate. Will spot a start this sharper journey but has the ability to run on into the finish. ARABIAN MYTH (1) has been building towards a win and wasn't beaten far last time. This suits and should feature with a repeat of the latest effort. SOTOMAYOR (4) returns from a break on the back of two jump-outs. Best form stacks up and should run well. PALENTINE'S DAY (7) true din a nice run fresh and strips fitter. Among the leading chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Golden Age.
