Formscan By John O'Riordan - Newmarket runner-up FIELD OF GOLD can gain compensation for a narrow defeat in the first Classic of the season. The Gosdens' grey was arguably an unlucky loser, making late headway to lose out by half a length. With Colin Keane taking over in the saddle, the Juddmonte-owned colt has strong claims of taking this prize back across the Irish Sea. Hotazhell, who was a late withdrawal from the French Guineas, has every chance if ready on his first start of the season. Officer needs to take a significant step forward but, as the pick of the Ballydoyle pair, he commands maximum respect.
