Verdict
Edwina Sheeran won over this trip at Beverley and finished ahead of Have You A Minute when upped in trip at Redcar. GREEK GIANT has only won classified races at Lingfield and Brighton and carries a penalty back in a handicap but he’s still well treated in theory as he’ll be 12lb higher in the weights from next week. Lough Leane took a big step forward when third at Yarmouth and further progress is likely.
