Verdict

Though yet to conclusively prove that they stay this far, ELLE EST GRANDE and Green Zone both shaped as though worth another crack at this trip in the recent Kelso handicap won by Old Jewry. Green Zone fared the better of the two on that occasion, but Keith Dalgleish's charge is comparatively unexposed and may well turn the tables here if able to build on that effort. Always Tipsy also has claims.
