Verdict

Another wide open contest here with many in form rivals in opposition including Emperor's Well, Greenaway Bay and Short Change and we will take a chance on Greenaway Bay. The gelding from the in form John Quinn yard was a fair third last time out behind Kentucky Bullet. He looks to be on a fair mark and although this trip is on the short side he would have definite place claims if the rain arrives. Emperor's Well rates the main danger he was an easy winner last time out when defeating Rymers Rascal and with a fair apprentice taking off a handy five pounds he to should go close. Short Change is also worthy of respect on his latest third behind Ducs Dram but his best form is also over further so for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. Dubonai could also go well he was a fair third behind James Caird last time out and he remains at the right end of the weights. Of the remainder the booking of Kevin Darley catches the eye on Sharp Crusader and he is worth noting in the market but we are happy to stick with Greenaway Bay.
