Verdict

A small but competitive field go to post for this contest with all of them having a chance on their best form. Greenback was a good third behind Cotopaxi last time out at Market Rasen and he will be hard to beat as he loves this fast ground and this easy track should suit his running style. Ellamine also likes the ground but her best form is over a much longer trip. Better Moment a stable companion of Ellamine always travels well but does not always find as much as is expected off the bridle. My Bold Boyo is a course and distance winner who likes to here his feet rattle but his two runs this season have been very disappointing.
