Verdict

This looks quite competitive but there was plenty to like about the comeback run of GREY FOX at Windsor and he is one would would benefit from a likely strong pace. Leicester sixth Hover is another who will strip fitter today and Dandy Maestro won at Nottingham last month. Mark Of Respect is another to consider but only finished a neck ahead of Hathlool at Ascot and the latter didn’t get the run of the race. Diffident Spirit and Keeper's Choice are both past winners here but Secret Glow may be the pick of the remainder.
