Verdict
A competitive handicap with two of the three previous winners back for more. But Georgian Bay is 5lb higher than when successful in 2014 and Grey Mirage, who won the inaugural running, was behind Shyron at Lingfield last time. The latter has leading claims on that form but it could be the turn of CRAZY CHIC today. Marco Botti's grey went close under Andrea Atzeni at Wolverhampton in February and looks set for a return to winning ways on that form. Brigliadoro has been raised a further 5lb for finishing second at Chelmsford while Solar Flair has something to prove in this higher grade but is open to further progress. Mr Bossy Boots is hard to predict but an earlier defeat by Realize puts him somewhere near Shyron if at his best.
