Verdict

A dual winner in classified company, Greek Giant was second back in a handicap at Ripon having been raised 14lb. ELOPED looks a safer proposition on a length defeat at Southwell last month on only her second start in a handicap. Gold Standard placed over a shorter trip at Lingfield while Gentle Fire went close off today’s mark over track and trip early in the year.
