Verdict
Alexander The Grey had just hit the front when falling at the last here in September but hasn’t been seen since. Mister Mister was due to run last night at Uttoxeter so this is best left to CILLIAN’S WELL (NAP), back to his best when well supported at Worcester 10 days ago and only 3lb higher now. Deise Vu is looking high enough in the weights now but the going will suit Exeter third King Cnut, who is slipping down the handicap.
