Lightly raced (this just his fifth race); from a respected yard; not far behind Bristol Hercules when fifth over 7f here (graduation plate) two weeks ago; can give it a good shot if duplicating the form of his most recent win.

Verdict
An open race - Opera Fan needs to be considered while A Bit Of Class is capable of having a say. However, GOLDEN OPERATOR looks the one to side with. He has shown he can get his head in front and can reverse last time's placings with Bristol Hercules.
