Verdict
GREENSIDE won as he liked at Newmarket on last month's reappearance. Henry Candy's colt has a 12lb hike to contend with but there looks plenty more to come from him. Spiritual Star's recent course and distance win came in a plating race but Big Whiskey ran well at Kempton last time and can figure. The soft ground may have been against Tempting at Newbury last month and she can do better while Imshivalla can reverse earlier running at Newmarket on better terms with Volunteer Point. Ginger Jack beat Imshivalla at Carlisle during the summer and is not easily dismissed dropping back down in class.
