OLD IS GOLD (16) was purchased by Wathnan Racing ahead of the Royal meeting. Built on a debut third over course and distance with a comfortable victory attempting a Beverley contest. Plenty of speed. ROGUE LEGEND (17) is the leading Irish representative. Wide margin winner past two outings at Cork and Tipperary. Extra experience compared to some of these might prove an advantage. Exciting prospect. DICKENSIAN (6) could prove to be over-priced. Recorded a strong win at Musselburgh on debut and not beaten far when 2L sixth in a competitive course and distance conditions event second-up when taking keen hold. Better anticipated. JAN STEEN (11) finished third on second career start and winner boosted form by placing among Stakes company next time. Easy 4.5L success debuting at Thirsk. Likeable.
