In depth

Verdict

Caribbean Spring can race off a lower mark on Turf but hasn’t won on this surface in 16 attempts. Mr Andros is another looking for his first win on Turf and should go well for a leading amateur in Serena Brotherton while Relight My Fire is back on a winning mark and makes more appeal than Emily Goldfinch. But CRICKLEWOOD GREEN has won two of only three starts at this venue and has also tumbled down the weights since winning off a 15lb higher mark at Ascot last season. He gets the vote with today’s rider Becky Smith boasting an admirable strike rate on the Flat this season.
