Green Park has solid claims in this class two event, along with Lyrical Blues, but we will give the vote to the other previous winner Scarlet Knight. The selection finished behind Green Park on his debut here last month. There was only a head between them but Scarlet Knight was slow into his stride and was doing his best work at the finish. The form of that race is obviously very good and these two could battle out the finish here. Lyrical Blues won a small race at Norttingham before finishing third to the Hannon trained Green Pride. He looks to have a bit to find on the book here but should be involved in the fight for places. The others look up against it this evening and so we expect Scarlet Knight to beat Green Park in what could be a very tight finish.
