Verdict
GREYED A started favourite for his chasing debut at Lingfield but pulled up before coming here and making all for an emphatic victory. He's only been raised 3lb and should complete a double. Allchilledout hasn't been in the best of form though won a similar-grade handicap at Chepstow a year ago and is just 1lb higher. Lac Sacre will have ground conditions in his favour and showed a bit more dash at Ffos Las and though Itoldyou hasn't won for almost two years he's generally in a place and has won here on heavy going. Finish The Story has managed to win a couple of times over fences and has dropped to such a lowly mark that he has to be considered.
