Verdict
Blistering Barney won a lower grade contest at Leicester by only a nose and is 3lb higher. Greengage has won five times already this year and went close again at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago but a chance is taken that ARCH MOON stays this far. The latter is 9lb lower than when successful last year and may well improve having his second start after wind surgery. Emaraty Hero also step up in trip while the returning Beechwood Jude would prefer softer ground.
