GREY D’ARS has yet to score in this country having won three times when trained in France but has slipped down the weights as a consequence and finished third when last seen over track and trip. My Poem disappointed again at Wolverhampton last time while Twpsyn’s recent win came in a claimer at Redcar. Torbellino placed here recently and Glendun returns to the Flat having won over hurdles in August while French import Tundra debuts for a new yard.
