Verdict
An ordinary looking seller with Sonic Sound, Penny's Crown and Greencroft Golf all worthy of mention with the vote going to the last named. A winner of a similar contest back in May Greencroft Golf has been showing signs of coming back to his best. Fourth of nine over three miles last time out in better company should be enough to win this poor contest so is worth staying on the right side of. Sonic Sound comes from a yard not in form, and although a winner for Paul Webber last season he pulled up last time out and looks untrustworthy. Penny's Crown has a little bit of form in better company to give him a chance if at his best but for the winner we return to Greencroft Golf.
