In depth
Verdict
Greek Revival, a beautifully-bred son of Royal Academy out of 1994 1,000 Guineas heroine Las Meninas, is on the upgrade and looked ready for this rise in class after an easy win in a Newmarket novice event last time. The Barry Hills-trained colt should go well while Deportivo is unbeaten and is another smart prospect in the making after wins at Bath and Pontefract. Checkit has held his form well in similar company of late and is an obvious danger.
