In depth
Verdict
This looks wide-open but Productive, placed on Tapeta and Fibresand, could go well tried in cheekpieces on his Turf debut. Top Class Angel’s maiden form last summer was respectable and Glen Esk was improving towards the end of last year. He is less exposed than the likes of Yarmouth runner-up Gladice and Gert Lush. Clever Candy won at Leicester in September and was second at Kempton in March but LILY LIKE looked as though she was getting her act together at Chelmsford last time and the grey can go one better here.
