Greek God, Denton Hawk and Bertrada are the three to consider here and Denton Hawk is taken to swoop late and collar his rivals. Bertrada ran the best race of her career when finishing well to take fourth last time for Hughie Morrison. She is clearly progressing and is respected but may not be good enough. After a decent effort at Wolverhampton, Greek God was made joint favourite last time, but was destroyed by the useful Medici Code. There is nothing of that quality here, but Greek God has reached a plateau and may have to settle for a place. Denton Hawk has been running well in selling grade, and this race is only marginally better than that. He has been arriving late on the scene over seven furlongs and this extra furlong should suit. Denton Hawk can fly home and take this.
