      Verdict

      A winner at Uttoxeter in December, Risk D'Argent has placed in both subsequent starts but GREY SKIES is clear of the former at the weights and defied a penalty for an earlier success when landing the odds at Kelso with the minimum of fuss - a hat-trick beckons for Donald McCain’s charge. Red Vision finished closer at Ludlow last time but Dondiam makes his hurdling debut.
