Verdict
Mojave Desert and Tinctoria are not easily overlooked after recent placed efforts and Chevalgris will likely improve on his recent comeback at Thirsk. Pacific Heights also has claims off his current mark, although he has something to prove over today's longer trip so ERIC THE GREY is preferred. Richard Fahey's charge finished fourth in a handicap at Pontefract on his latest start and a repeat effort should see him off the mark back in maiden company.
