Verdict

JULIUS GEEZER got his nose in front at York last time to record his third win in his last four starts. He's still improving on that evidence and can confirm latest running with Green Park and Another Try and go in again. Cruise Tothelimit is another in fine form but his last four wins have all been over the minimum trip. He had Desert Strike behind when fifth over 5f at Goodwood last week but the latter had beaten Silver Wind over today's distance at Folkestone before that. Sleepy Blue Ocean remains on a winning mark despite a 6lb rise for his latest win at Doncaster and makes more appeal than Rio Cobolo.
