Verdict

RESPLENDENT GREY and Springwell Bay both appeal as having more to offer now moving into handicap company. The former, an excellent second in the Persian War last month, may have a fitness edge on Jonjo O'Neill's reappearing 6-y-o and that swings the vote his way. Gyenyame is also respected on the back of his fine seasonal return at Wincanton last month.
