Verdict

GOLD TACK (11) is a long-standing maiden, though he has been showing positive signs in recent events. He stuck on well over the mile here last start off a 31-day freshen and now rises in trip where he's placed 4/8. Purton hops in the saddle in a good push for his chances and he can finally shed the maiden tag. SUPER HONG KONG (7) steps back in trip following a strong effort over 1 ¼m here just 9 days ago, finishing off well from the tail of the field. He was beaten 2.3L there, but the figure suggests he's on the sup of another win. Can sit closer and put his best foot forward. MR ALADDIN (10) was beaten 3L as favourite last start at Happy Valley after making a mid-race move and was closing stronger over 1 ?m at Happy Valley prior to that, again as favourite. Needs a touch of luck, but the form out of his past couple has been solid and he can't be discounted. LEATHER MASTER (3) is hard to knock on recent form and won't be far away.
