Verdict

Greenwich Village is a strong fancy in the last race of the day at Lingfield. Camera Shy and Looks The Business can also go close, while Trigger's Friend showed a huge amount of improvement last time out and she shouldn¿t be underestimated here. Trigger's Friend was a weak juvenile and made very little impression in two outings. However, she was a different proposition here last time out and she comes here as one of the least exposed in the field. Market confidence will be a good indicator towards her chance. Looks The Business has won under both codes of racing and is a good fun horse for his connections. Still, he is unlikely to be improving at his age and others may have his measure. Camera Shy being one. The son of Pivotal has inherited stamina from his dam's side and showed marked improvement over a mile and a half last time out. Like the selection, he is open to further progression and rates as a live danger. However, Greenwich Village takes an effective drop in class today and, this lightly raced five-year-old is expected to relish this lesser test.
