Verdict

Claude Greenwood won over a slightly longer trip here in September and was only beaten a neck in an apprentices' race at Chelmsford last month. His young rider takes off 7lb today and he must have every chance of going one better. Fleeting Indian only beat one home in this last year when 2lb lower but recent Lingfield third Chandrayaan should go well, though has never won on Turf. Connections have been struggling to find BIG CITY BOY's best trip and he's still awaiting a first victory after 23 starts. But he's been placed in two of three previous runs here and has clearly been finding sprint distances too sharp on the all-weather recently. He may be worth one final chance eased in grade.
