Verdict
Greek Kodiac finally won on Turf when landing a seller over 7f at Redcar while Keeper's Choice won easily over track and trip last week with Air Of York behind. But the handicapper has had his say with Adrian Wintle’s charge and raised her 11lb so a chance is taken on BORN TO DESTROY (NAP). The latter posted a better effort over course and distance last time having tumbled down the weights and faces an easier task in this. Never Said Nothing’s only win on Turf so far came here last autumn but he remains 6lb higher.
