GREYFRIARSCHORISTA is a winner without a penalty having landed an apprentice race at Wolverhampton last week. A multiple winner on Polytrack, a chance is taken Brian Ellison's charge will find the Fibresand to his liking and he gets the vote. On The Cusp looks high enough in the weights now after scoring at Ffos Las last month and has been well beaten over C&D since with San Antonio further behind. Putin also failed to figure off a higher mark here last time having scored over track and trip before that, but Hilbre Court is on a fair mark if rediscovering his best.
