Verdict

Plenty in with a chance as Ghostwing scored over 5f here last month and has won off higher marks on turf and Global Village went close again last time having landing a double over C&D in December. Upper Lambourn also scored twice here last month but is upped in class off a 5lb higher mark today, while Bandstand just got the better of today's rival Dancing Freddy over C&D before a below-par effort at Kempton on his latest start. JOE LE TAXI will need to step up on his recent efforts, but his victory over track and trip last year was the most impressive of his four wins and he gets the nod back at this track for the first time since.
