Verdict
CLOSENESS has yet to win but has improved for dropping down to this level and was beaten only a nose at Kempton last time. Forbearing has also been thereabouts over 7f in this grade recently while Crazy Spin won a classified race over track and trip at this time last year and is preferred to stablemate Floats On Air. Somedayonedaynever and Chloellie may prove best of the rest.
