Race preview
GOLDEN REDEMPTION might take a bit of beating here if he can improve on a very encouraging comeback run at Kempton, when beaten two lengths into third. This consistent colt performed well on the Rowley Mile last autumn and could be open to even more improvement this year. He gets the nod ahead of C&D winner Elarak, Leadman and Shah.
