Verdict
GREEN PARK is upped 4lb for his recent win at Chester but has won off higher marks in the past. He gets the nod to follow-up ahead of Red Cape. The latter has also slipped down the weights although his only win so far this year came in a claimer. Showboating was beaten off today's rating at Newmarket last time having scored on the all-weather before that while Saucy Brown and Solar Spirit could both figure if at their best, which is not guaranteed.
