In depth

Verdict

Phone In deserves to get his head in front having found one too good in each of his last two starts but Sir Mark Prescott's gelding has gone up 6lbs for his latest effort and he may not represent much in the way of value so preference is for Greenwich Village, who gets the vote ahead of Bedouin Blue. The last mentioned can race off a 5lb lower mark than when successful at Redcar last time but does not appear to be as effective on this surface judged by previous form here so may be best watched. Million All Day looks to be going the right way and has to be considered but could probably do with being dropped a couple of pounds. Rajaall looks to have too much weight and preference is for Greenwich Village, who is lightly raced and made an encouraging debut in this grade at Goodwood last time but has decent form here as well.
