Verdict
Mickydee won on the Flat but that was on soft going. Vignoni was well beaten when third at Catterick in November but GREYSTOKE (NAP) ran better than the final result suggests at Warwick in the same month and hasn’t been beaten far in a couple of all-weather outings recently. Alan King’s entire gets the nod ahead of Lion Face, who was a stayer on the Flat and ran well until falling at Market Rasen. Newbury second Chadlington Lad is preferred to Top Brass of the others.
