Verdict
Sir Geoffrey is a Southwell specialist nowadays and has failed to take advantage of a lower Turf mark on soft going recently. Henley went up 6lb for his Musselburgh victory on soft ground but couldn't cope with Elusivity at Catterick last month. Flash City is generally consistent though it's a year since he won so this can go to the three-year-old HARMONIC WAVE. Ann Duffield's filly won a nursery at Musselburgh in September and reappeared with a good run at Redcar a couple of weeks ago. Jacob's Pillow's last victory was in a Southwell seller but Apricot Sky has dropped to a fair mark and looks a danger.
