GREEN EARTH had Spirit Of Gondree well behind when a close-up third at Kempton. A first-time visor could make the difference today and he gets the nod. Barachiel wasn't beaten far when fourth on his latest start but that was over a longer trip and Brown Pete makes more appeal on his earlier win over today's distance at Yarmouth. Bladewood Girl may be capable of better on her handicap debut and Warbond may finish in a place off his current mark without being good enough to win.
