In depth
Verdict
EMERALD FOX was beaten less than a length despite finishing only fourth over 1m2f here last time. He’d earlier won over track and trip with Violet's Lads, Good Luck Charm and Four Mile Bridge behind and gets another chance back over today’s distance. Blue Whisper had the measure of Enzo when scoring at Wolverhampton last week and carries 5lb extra while Jeanette May may prove best of the rest having landed a double on Turf during the summer.
