Verdict

MY LADY GREY is a speculative choice in a race where most are struggling. She showed improved form last time and has her first start in a handicap with a good conditional booked. Tactical Manoeuver is one of the few in form coming here following his recent win at Exeter and should make a bold bid off his 7lb hgher mark, and there are a number of others who could figure if in the mood, including Timetobenefit, Auenwirbel, Mr Magill, and Et Apres Thou.
  1. My Lady Grey
  2. Timetobenefit
  3. Tactical Manoeuvre
