In depth
Verdict
Green Earth has been in really good form just lately, winning a Kempton claimer over this trip last month, which was sandwiched between two runner-up placings at this venue, and he will be very tough to beat now back in this grade, but we are going to take him on with SYRIAN. The Ian Williams-trained pick won a course and distance claimer in August, his last try in this type of contest, and it has been tough for him in handicaps since. Now switched back to this company he can come back to form. Florio Vincitore won here over 6f last year and wasn't far away in a Kempton handicap last time, so his first start in a claimer could bear some fruit. Chat De La Burg is another who can get involved.
