In depth

Verdict

Greylami is rated higher on the Polytrack but couldn't get involved off his current mark over track and trip last time. Franco Is My Name returns from nearly a year off the track and Nave remains 8lb higher than when landing a double during the summer. A 6lb hike proved beyond York winner Cosmic Halo last time, but Stevie Thunder has tumbled down the weights and finished a bit closer at Newmarket last week. DESERTED is another who should have done better at Goodwood last time but the Yarmouth winner is worth another chance on her all-weather debut as she's one of the least exposed.
