Verdict
Huzzah would have picked up and carried most of these in his prime but that seems a long time ago now. Greyemkay makes a swift reappearance after winning at Ffos Las on Monday and holds Athaakeel on that run while Two Turtle Doves has won three times here but all over 5f and she's not been done any favours by the draw today. GEORGE FENTON has hardly run a bad race this year and, though his only win so far came on the Polytrack, he was a good second at Warwick last month and is only 2lb higher. Richard Guest's three-year-old gets the nod though Maria Montez and Botanist are also respected.
