Several of these greys have raced in this before and CASE KEY has won it twice. He finished in front of My Style, Lethal Angel, Buccaneers Vault and Glenn Coco when successful last year and arrives in fine form having scored at Leicester on his penultimate start. Of those he beat last year, My Style went close at Bath last week and Buccaneers Vault won at Redcar in June. Rock Boy Grey has a shout back over 6f today on an earlier second at Newbury while Clareyblue takes on older sprinters having finished runner-up over 5f at York. Endowed is looking for a return to form having undergone recent wind surgery and makes most appeal of the rest.
