Formscan  - None of these arrive in better form than Sweet Kiss, who made it three wins from her last four starts when on target at Pontefract. However, a 5lb hike in the ratings coupled with a rise in class will make life tougher and a chance can be taken on CLOTH OF GOLD. Charlie Johnston's colt struggled in a warm class 2 at Ayr, but this won't be as taxing and a return to Tapeta appears to be another positive. Last year's winner Natzor should not be written off.
