Verdict

Nathanael Greene has been competing over 2m but won over today’s trip last summer. HE’S A LATCHICO is preferred as he was unsuited by the heavy ground over track and trip last time but won nicely at Sandown before that and gets another chance. Zealandia has a shout upped in trip while Ravens Ark finished in front of Vaynor when runner-up over course and distance in June and makes more appeal than Captain Kane.
