Verdict

COVERDALE had a bit up his sleeve when completing a double here last month. If he handles this quicker surface, he could rattle up the hat-trick as he’s only been raised 2lb. Greek Order has gone up 5lb for making a winning debut in handicaps at Sandown, when Almarin was behind, but still looks the danger ahead of Feel The Need, who is also upped in trip. Playactor has yet to place while Gozo may need this.
