Verdict
Greengage completed a double over a shorter trip at Wolverhampton at the end of last year and is not out of this while Sulafaat scored over course and distance last month with previous winner HOOFLEPUFF beaten less than a length. The latter re-opposes on better terms today and can reverse running in a tight contest. Bravantina opened his account upped to 2m here last time while Calevade went close over track and trip in a lowly classified event at the same fixture but will find this tougher.
