Razor Wind drops back in trip after a couple of decent efforts over 1m2f. He has every chance along with New Identity, placed in all four starts on Turf so far. GOLDEN EMERALD failed to handle the testing ground at Windsor last time but his debut fourth over track and trip is good enough to see him go close and he gets the nod. Mahsoob is the first foal of a winner on the all-weather and makes more appeal than Greenside and Poyle Toby of the newcomers
