Golden Valour⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 8-9| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: R M Smith| OR: 49| CD

13/2

Unreliable type but back on song to land 11-runner handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good to soft, 4/1) 6 days ago, going clear. This C&D scorer is weighted to go well if on song again.

18/1

Excellent second of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to soft, 9/1) 16 days ago. One to consider despite being 4 lb "wrong" in the weights.

Forecasts

Penelope's Sister (3/1), Little Ted (4/1), Atmosphere (4/1), Pisanello (6/1), Keats House (13/2), Golden Valour (13/2), Lovette (12/1), Temper Trap (12/1), Lovely Spirit (14/1), Precious Spartan (16/1), Uncle Liam (18/1), Cavallo Pazzo (33/1)

This is wide open but ATMOSPHERE shaped well when a recent Sandown third and can bag a third success of 2025 eased 1 lb here. Keats House rates a big danger though having advanced his form when scoring at Musselburgh, while Penelope's Sister and Golden Valour can have a say too.
