Russet Gold
Although RUSSET GOLD was behind a couple of these at the York Dante meeting the feeling is he's likely to capitalise on this mark before long. Yes I'm Mali has been back on top of his game since joining David O'Meara, including a C&D win, and he's feared most ahead of Fandom and Strike Red.

Without a win last year for Richard Fahey but stepped forward from seasonal/stable debut when landing 18-runner contest over C&D (good) last month. Good second of 20 at York (6f, good) last weekend.

Useful form in the US earlier in his career.

Runner-up in Stewards' Cup at Goodwood last year and built on promising reappearance effort when returning to winning ways at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last month.

Useful at his best. Failed to fire for Roger Varian in 2025 but more positive signs for new yard when fifth over 6f at Leicester (good to firm) and York (good to soft; beaten 3¼ lengths by Dark Thirty) this spring.
