October's C&D third Green Earth is tried in a visor and should figure if the headgear has the desired effect. Zaheeb is showing signs of a revival and has a decent draw but Sunnyside Tom is only a plater nowadays and Songbird Blues invariably finds one too good. That one today may be STORM RUNNER, who had been running well in defeat prior to last month's victory at Lingfield. He's only been raised a couple of pounds and, with Graham Lee doing the steering again, can post a quick follow-up. Rapid Water is often placed but looks the pick of the remainder.
