Formscan - Aberama Gold is as enthusiastic as ever and David O'Meara's robust nine-year-old is high on the shortlist. However, DYRHOLAEY could be the answer after a near miss off the same mark at Wolverhampton last week. Still unexposed for a five-year-old, the Archie Watson-trained gelding is highly tempting based on that evidence. Justcallmepete and Coachello are also likely to be heavily involved.
