Verdict

Five times a winner on the all-weather, Greengage finally won on this surface after 21 attempts when scoring at Redcar. He beat WILL SOMMERS, who led for most of the way, on that occasion but the latter was having his first outing since September and Kevin Ryan’s charge can turn the tables with that run under his belt. Hot Team hasn’t won since 2018 and the less exposed Detective is preferred on a recent fourth at Musselburgh while Ralphy Boy Two may improve on his second start after wind surgery.
