Verdict
A low-grade handicap which won't take much winning. Spinning Ridge is only a pound higher than his last winning mark and Mr Fickle has Hughes on board and is less exposed than most. But GREYEMKAY looks the one to beat as he's won two of his four previous starts here, including one on soft ground last year. Daniel Muscutt is good value for his 7lb claim. Guest Book looks best of the rest as though Lordship has form on an easy surface he's been woefully out of sorts this year.
