The step up trip should be fine for ROSA GOLD (her dam won a 1m2f Listed race at Newbury before being shipped off to finish her racing career in the USA) and, given the manner of her two handicap wins so far, the filly looks be be progressing a bit too quickly for the rest of this lot to cope with. Soramond is up in grade and shoulders 3lb more after scraping her way to land a class 6 handicap last month; she's still respected in this company. Whereas Savanna Gold and Flashing Approach both need to improve but represent trainers that have excelled in nurturing similar talent so cannot confidently be ruled out.
