Verdict
GREY ATLANTIC WAY faces a tougher task upped in class and raised 8lb for winning at Sedgefield but he scored easily in a first-time combination of tongue-tie and cheekpieces and there looks more to come. Slainte Mhor was still beaten a distance when third at Perth last month though had Event Of Sivola well behind when scoring over track and trip in March and the latter went on to win at Musselburgh with Eagle Ridge back in third.
