PLAY SMARTER A previous course winner, GOLD SOUK capitalised on his much-reduced mark at Lingfield in May and has remained in good form since, finding only one too good back there last time. Underfoot conditions will hold no fears and he can go well again under David Probert. The admirable Sweet Reward, in search of the hat-trick, is feared most, ahead of Bad Company.
