Witness won on soft going at Wetherby in March but didn’t appear to enjoy the better ground at Kelso earlier this month. Grey Monk is eased in grade and tumbling down the handicap but still has to give 16lb to SIMPLY LUCKY, who was winning for the first time under Rules at Towcester but looks capable of better. Earcomestom found plenty of improvement stepped up to this trip at Uttoxeter and looks a bigger danger than recent course and distance third Stonebrigg Legend.
