There may only be five runners in this but it looks wide-open. Ginger Fizz has already won twice here but prefers a quicker surface. Hint Of Grey may be a few pounds too high but has been taking on better company, as has Clemency. Green Or Black was odds-on when beaten at Newton Abbot last month, though the winner is a decent novice. DAVID'S PHOEBE may have come off worse in a blanket finish here last month but wasn't beaten far having finished second at Market Rasen earlier - she may have more to offer.
