Mark of Gold 5.00 Pontefract - Win 4/1W.Hills

Mark of Gold is sired by the 2015 Derby and Prix de l’arc de Triomphe winner and his dam ran in Group races over 12f+. With this breeding Mark of Gold is destined to be good over middle distances as the price tag of £220k would indicate. His two runs to date have been over 7f and 8f so he should markedly improve going up to 10f. Horses that have beaten him include horses rated 92, 84 and 92, so a rating of just 75 gives him a big chance (parents would have been rated in excess of 105).
