Verdict

BRYNMAIR GOLD made a promising start when a strong-finishing second at Kempton and he appeals as the type who can improve markedly from his first outing. He is taken to get the better of Cornichon, who also shaped encouragingly on debut when making the frame at Newbury, while War Chest could be thereabouts once more.

4	Shaped well on debut when second of 10 in novice at Kempton 11 days ago, beaten by only a neck having finished with a flourish. Yard's 2-y-os tend to come on plenty for their first run, so he rates as a likely contender. 1st Pick 4 Brynmair Gold Jockey: Oisin Murphy Trainer: Oliver Cole J: Oisin Murphy T: Oliver Cole	100	-	-	-	63%
