Predators Gold
Selected at:
9/4
Predators Gold was a smart novice hurdler and was very competitive at Grade 1 level, finishing second twice. He would have been entitled to need the run badly at Navan last month but he produced a smart performance to win well. Significant improvement is anticipated with that in mind and he should prove hard to beat.
