Nothing to get excited about in the closer but GREENHEAD HIGH has shown decent recent form. He never got into the action after being hampered early on at Wolverhampton last time, but had proven consistent before that with a couple of victories to his credit and can race off a lower mark back on turf. Fortunate Bid has claims on his comeback third at Kempton behind Spin Again and a line through the latter gives him the beating of Resplendent Alpha, who in turn makes more appeal than stablemate Fault. There's little between Monsieur Pontaven and Nacho Libre on their latest running on the all-weather but the former may come out best again here.
