Love Is Golden
Quite useful on Flat up to 1m4f for the Johnstons and later won twice over hurdles for Gary Moore; however, it's difficult to know what to expect after such a mammoth spell on the sidelines.

From the connections
“Love Is Golden might go to Plumpton for the Sussex Champion Hurdle. We'll see what the handicapper does, but he shouldn't do too much, although we could look at running at Aintree's Grand National meeting next month. The ground would have to be right though and we'd mind him if it was quicker - Gary Moore, trainer.”
“I'm pleased for Love Is Golden because when I rode him here the time before last I didn't give him a very good ride. I didn't jump well into the race and I got too far behind - Franny Norton, jockey.”
“Both Love Is Golden and Baileys Derbyday were backward horses that were likely to be crying out for this trip. The winner is a very well bred horse and was clearly running over an inadequate trip last year - Mark Johnston, trainer.”
