Pundit pick: Love Is Golden

Love Is Golden heads our ratings for this Class 5 event by a clear margin, comfortably the highest-rated runner in the field over this 13-furlong trip. Expressionless, Big Bear Hug and Percy Jones all cluster together on our figures just behind him and look the main dangers to his claims. The gap at the top is significant, but with the chasing pack so tightly bunched, confidence in this one is low. Love Is Golden remains our selection on the strength of that rating advantage.
