    Verdict

    Shang Tang is a little exposed but has placed three times, including on his reappearance in a Wetherby handicap. Greenrock Abbey could be a shrewd purchase by the Million In Mind partnership after winning a maiden point at Tyrella as he’s a half-brother to two winners. A winner at Ludlow in February, Exod'ela has already had a couple of outings this term but official ratings suggest SOUTHFIELD HARVEST given he beat a subsequent winner when last seen.
