Verdict

He made a fine start to his chasing career at Ascot in December, despite racing quite keenly at times, and GREANETEEN is capable of building on that here for the champion trainer. He should get some pace to follow and that ought to help him settle. Cracking Destiny went very close here on New Year's Day, though is frustratingly up 5lb in defeat, while the same penalty has been applied to gutsy Sandown winner Locker Room Talk; who won't go down easily.
  1. Greaneteen
