    Verdict

    Ranelagh Gray is the obvious choice here, but we will look for value and select Greenfield, with Manly Money also expected to be in the firing line. The selection comes here on the back of an emphatic victory at Stratford last month, when accounting for Just Superb by five lengths. It was a similar contest to today's and there appears no reason why he shouldn't run his race again. Ranelagh Gray was also successful last time out, taking a Towcester class E handicap from Tiger Frog. This represents a step up in class for the Venetia Williams trained gelding, but nevertheless must enter calculations. Recent Exeter second Manly Money is expected to go close again under the steering of Tony McCoy, but Greenfield could have more in the locker and is at least a confident each-way choice.
