Greenwich Meantime has been largely disappointing since joining Lynda Ramsden from Henry Cecil's stable and, while the booking of Kieren Fallon offers more hope, preference is for Shredded, who gets the nod over Tilla. The last mentioned ended last season in good form with a win at Catterick over today's trip and has to be respected off just a 2lb higher mark. However, lack of a recent outing is of concern and of more interest may be the John Jenkins-trained Moon Emperor, for who Mick Kinane has been booked. Gary Moore's Mostarsil showed improved form at Ascot last time and is another to warrant respect along with Invitation, who is better than he showed at Newbury recently. Laggan Bay and Linens Flame are others worthy of a mention but the vote goes to Shredded. John Gosden's son of Diesis is stoutly bred on the dam's side, showed improved form last time and, with more to come over this trip when second to Hawridge Prince at Newbury, is taken to go one better.
