Lord Murphy, one of the more consistent types on show, should give Thomas Greatrex a good spin on the back of recent runner-up efforts. He's lightly-raced on grass but his penultimate run when a Yarmouth second reads well enough, albeit in selling company. Shifting Star maintains enthusiasm at the age of 13 and already has a course success to his name this season and Mr Andros has a shout on his latest effort although his lack of success on turf is a concern. Hidden Stash is a course and distance winner but was tailed off the last day but NARJES does make appeal at the head of the weights. A career record of 0-18 is obviously an issue but she is now down to a career-low mark of 59. Sophie Ralston is riding well and the step-up to a mile may just bring about the requisite improvement.
