FormscanBy Michael Graham - SOVEREIGN GOLD can make a winning return. She was last seen winning a 3m handicap hurdle at Tipperary in May by a more than healthy 14 lengths. She switches back to fences now and there should be victories to be had with her in this sphere. Glenquin Castle just keeps winning and is gunning for an incredible seven-timer. He has notched three handicap hurdles and three handicap chases in his winning spree, and never wins by too far which makes it hard for the handicapper to get to grips with him. He loves a staying trip and is sure to be popular. Recite A Prayer was a handy winner on chasing debut at Tramore in October and there is likely to be plenty more to come from him.
