Newbury 17:55 - w/o Victory Gold

oddschecker Verdict

Victory Gold got off the mark at Lingfield after running in some warm contests prior to finishing down the field in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot. However, this may be a stiff enough task to give weight to all of his rivals and the vote goes to WAASIL. Karl Burke's colt opened his account at the second time of asking when benefiting from going up in trip at Beverley and remains open to further progression. Flying Pirate (third) and Metamouse (fourth) were closely matched at Salisbury and it wouldn't be a surprise if the latter reversed the form on 3lb better terms, while Duke of Burgundy shouldn't be discounted after his Kempton success.

Prediction: 1st Waasil, 2nd Victory Gold, 3rd Metamouse
