      Verdict

      A really tough handicap in which Go Green is only a tentative selection over Biscar Two and Music Mix. That said, King of Rock is now in the right hands to be found an opening at this sort of level and he is definitely one to post a look out for when the betting opens. Oktis Morilious is another to bear in mind as a race of this nature is well within him if he consents to put his best foot forward. However, as that cannot be guaranteed, we prefer to look elsewhere in the search for a more reliable option. Which brings in Go Green, who improved to win a seller at Chepstow in gutsy fashion earlier in the month. The three-year-old has much fewer miles on the clock than a few of these and, as she proved in defeat at Brighton on Monday, is taking her racing well. The fact that she is being kept so busy suggests that her yard are hoping to strike whilst the iron is hot and, as such, Go Green is given the benefit of the doubt in a race that has many a pitfall to be avoided for punting purposes.
