Verdict

In many respects the October C&D maiden winner GOLDENCARD should prove vulnerable under a penalty as demonstrated in defeat at Catterick. However, with precious little in the way of viable opposition with which too oppose him with this afternoon, he gets the nod. Raecius Felix is probably capable of better than he's demonstrated so far for Ruth Jefferson, whilst the Nick Alexander-trained Elvis Mail looks more than capable of making the frame in this company.
