Greek Islands won over 1m2f here in July and is only a pound higher than when second over this trip at Salisbury subsequently. He has to go on the short-list in a modest second division of this handicap as Dippinganddiving has only won as seller so far, though Tom Marquand's claim will aid her cause here. EPPING FOREST has had her excuses since a close-up fourth over a slightly shorter trip on Turf at Lingfield last month. Jonny Portman's filly remains largely unexposed and can reverse that form with Knight Of The Air on more favourable terms. Malih appears to have gone off the boil but may still be best of the rest.
