Very few of these come into this in very good form, but perhaps GREEN HOWARD can provide the answer. Rebecca Bastiman's gelding may not have won for a few years but he has shown signs of a small revival recently and on ground that should suit this would prove to be a very fair handicap mark if he was able to show anything like his best. Leonard Thomas has only won on the all-weather up to now but is equally capable on turf and should go well, while Beadlam should be thereabouts under a 6lb penalty.
