Verdict

Greenwich Village was such an easy winner last time out that it is very hard to see beyond William Knight's charge. A brother to the top class colt and now sire Presenting, Greenwich Village was stepped up from racing over twelve furlongs last time and the staying trip brought out the best in the five year old. Back on the all-weather should not inconvenience him and everything looks set for a big run. General Ting should not be written off despite being a beaten short priced favourite last time. Expect to see the Prescott runner closer to the pace today as he did look one paced when required to challenge for the lead. Vilna has benefited from patient tactics from the excellent hold-up tactician George Baker and has the assistance of Hayley Turner today. He appeared far from straight forward at Kempton three starts back and looked as if he could have been thinking about the job on hand even last time. Trachonitis holds each way claims but is on his mark on vulnerable to anything on the improve while Turban Heights returns after 303 days off the course and takes a major step up in trip. It would be asking a lot of Eoghan O'Neill's charge to land it. Greenwich Village looks to be an improved sort judging by his win last time and can go in once again here.
