Greeneyedafghan made a winning debut on heavy going here last month but, along with Despacito, was then well behind the odds-on Take Me With You at Windsor. Christopher Wood makes more appeal as he was taking on decent opposition at Ascot when attempting to follow up an earlier success. But he has to give 6lb to EPIC FANTASY, whose winning half-brother Ponitillism handled plenty of give in the ground. Charlie Hills’ Invincible Spirit colt could be good enough to make a winning start even though Yorbelucky showed some improvement here last time.
