Verdict
Razor Wind has been raised 8lb for winning over track and trip last month and steps up a couple of grades. MAVERICK WAVE also sports the Godolphin colours and won a similar contest over course and distance in November. John Gosden's colt is preferred to Brocklebank, who failed to cope with a 10lb rise on his latest start for scoring at Wolverhampton earlier. Gaelic Silver went close at Chelmsford recently but this is more competitive and Spiritual Star is also facing a tougher task than he has of late.
