Verdict
Greek Islands scored at a big price at Wolverhampton last time when a couple of lengths ahead of HOLD FIRM. But the latter can turn the tables on better terms today with winning partner Josh Quinn back on board - Mark Tompkins' charge gets the nod. Schottische is usually thereabouts without being good enough but Anjuna Beach finally posted a better effort over 7f here last week when ahead of Aru Cha Cha having slipped down the weights this year.
