      Verdict

      Lorikeet makes most appeal here with Dash Of Grey and Alnwick viewed as dangers. The selection is back on a winning mark and was well supported to open his account for Gary Moore last time over course and distance. He had to play second fiddle to Josh You Are, who was also well backed, that day but there was no disgrace in that effort and he can go one better. Rollin 'n Tumblin is interesting but far from certain to stay, Flame Creek has claims but is probably high enough in the weights and Alnwick probably needs to improve a little to score in this grade but isn't ruled out. Of more interest is Irish raider Dash Of Grey who has shown up well on each of his last two starts here. He twice ran well here in December and this longer trip should see him in a better light; he's feared but we'll stick with Lorikeet.
