Verdict

The Green Ogre has been steadily working his way back to form this term after a lengthy break and a recent second at Fontwell suggested he's ready to get back on the winning trail. Undisputed is solid enough at this level and will be assisted by his pilot's 7lb claim but LLANTARA looks the one to be on. Her stable has hit form recently and she was beaten under two lengths when fifth here earlier this month. Trip and ground are fine and it wouldn't surprise to see Ben Poste hold on to her a little longer on this occasion. Thats My Rabbit and Grams And Ounces are others to consider at opposite ends of the handicap.
