Greenwich Meantime is taken to get the better of Prairie Sun and Princess Kiotto, with Mr Mischief the other who could go well at a price. The selection was a fair second behind Feed The Meter at Doncaster last time and he is running consistently well. He has been gradually climbing up the weights but this step-up in trip will suit and he is taken to get his head in front today. Prairie Sun won well last time at Redcar when beating Mr Mischief but he does have a penalty for that success and that may just find him out today. Mr Mischief is due to go up in the weights this week, and he is better off at the weights today with Prairie Sun so should be capable of reversing the placings, especially as the step-up in trip will suit. Princess Kiotto is in good heart a present and she won well last time at Newcastle when beating Seifi. Her yard is in good form and she is respected, but in a competitive race we will stick with Greenwich Meantime who looks the one they all have to beat.
