Winklevi was conceding Chipiron 2lb when beaten a nose over the course and distance in July and has since had a couple of runs in Jersey. There's nothing between them at the revised weights though the former just gets the nod. Liverpool Knight won over 1m4f for John Gosden and has been competing in better company on Turf for Alan King. SOPHAR SOGOOD was beaten less than a length by Overhaugh Street on soft ground at Chester having scored there over this trip earlier. The revised weights give him a good chance to reverse the form and get back on the winning trail. Greengage is a consistent performer with an excellent strike-rate who could provide the main threat.
