FIELD OF GOLD (3) closed last prep six-and-a-half months ago when he finished fourth over 1400m at Longchamp. Has an imposing record of two wins from four starts. Expecting a bold showing. AOMORI CITY (1) is back at the races for the first time since November 1. Scored over 1200m at Nottingham at the start of last prep. Comes here with definite claims. OPERA BALLO (6) was an effortless winner last time out over 1600m at Kempton Park All Weather, scoring by 4 lengths. Gets a little weight relief. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Sure to be competitive. NEW CENTURY (5) last appeared when fourth over 1760m in the G1 Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf at Del Mar (Turf) five-and-a-half months ago. Can make his presence felt.
