Verdict

A couple of these have form over today’s trip including Master Grey though it was heavy going when he scored at Salisbury. It was soft ground when DAGUENEAU (NAP) won over 1m6f at Nottingham recently but he was second on good to firm earlier and another bold bid is expected from Ed Dunlop’s charge. Eyecatcher was just that when beaten only a head over 1m4f at Haydock last week while Mythological scored over the same trip at Beverley last time. Elysees narrowly beat the selection at Wolverhampton back in April but struggled back at the same venue on his latest start.
