GOLDEN VALE (8) showed good early dash and stalked the pace last start before drawing clear to score by 1.2 lengths over 5f at Ascot. Tackles a much tougher assignment but a bold showing is expected. SINFUL LIVING (7) won narrowly by half a length two runs back at Ascot then missed the frame last time at Ascot. Gets some weight relief this time. Better placed this time and is a genuine threat. BIG SHOTS (3) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 2 lengths away in second over 5½f at Ascot. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. ANGELS IMPACT (2) resumes after a break of four months. Did win at his only other when resuming run when on debut, scoring over 5f at Ascot. Fitter for a recent trial win at Belmont Park. Solid top-three hope.
