Verdict

GRIGGY arrives in the best form having landed a double with last week’s course and distance success. He’s raised 3lb but is taken to confirm latest running with Amalfi Gem. The latter looks the biggest threat having won off today’s mark at Bath back in May though Company Minx landed a classified race here in August. Pretty Shiftwell and Jumira Bridge look best of the rest.
