    Verdict

    This bunch of sprinters are not exactly prolific but GRAMERCY has plenty going for him. He's slipped down the ratings and is dropping down a couple of grades having failed to figure at Ffos Las three days ago. Joe Packet is another looking to exploit his current mark and went close to doing so at Newmarket last time albeit in soft ground. Rigoletto also went close in lesser company at Warwick last month and Al's Memory found only one too good in a similar contest on the Polytrack earlier. Dominate is back on a winning mark but needs plenty of cut to show his best.
