Verdict
Holy Motivation only won by a neck over 3m here last time but third Green Zone may struggle to reverse that form on 7lb better terms. Farmer Boy is still 9lb higher than when scoring at Market Rasen in the spring but he’s been thereabouts lately. The maiden Metro Boulot Dodo makes his handicap debut but might be a few pounds too high. Touchedbyanangel has yet to win for Lucinda Russell but was second over 2m here recently and makes more appeal than the frustrating Imperial Elysian. GLOBAL TOUR is fully exposed but starting to slip down the weights again. He’s only a pound higher than when successful at Newton Abbot in July and 5lb claimer Max Kendrick has already steered him to four victories this year.
