In depth
Verdict
The Grey Bay finally got his head in front when scoring over track and trip last week and a penalty is reduced by his rider’s allowance. But leading amateur Serena Brotherton partners GORGEOUS GENERAL and the latter gets the vote on the back of a placed effort here last time. Jackstar finished closer at Wolverhampton recently and may figure with Kilconquhar and Charlemaine perhaps best of the rest.
