Verdict
MISTY GREY is burdened with top weight but has won off higher marks on the all-weather in the past and went close at Kempton last time. There was little between fourth-placed Street Kid and Master Zoffany at Wolverhampton last month while Baldomero finished in front of Fivethousandtoone when runner-up at Kempton recently and both step up in trip. Irish challenger Coachello hasn’t threatened since winning at Meydan at the start of the year while Mqse De Maintenon won on the all-weather in France and debuts for new connections.
