Verdict

This final race on the card could be a gruelling affair and the one most likely to handle conditions is ROAD TO GOLD, who scored on heavy last time and has prospects of a follow-up off this higher mark. Florrie Knox is feared after a pleasing comeback run at Market Rasen, while Silva Eclipse, The Hollow Ginge, Theo's Charm and Closing Ceremony are also likely to attract support.
  1. Road To Gold
