Eaton Hill by-passed a three-runner race at Fontwell on Friday to take his chance here but GRAY DAY is still preferred. He didn’t handle bottomless ground at Sedgefield in February having won on quicker going at Leicester and Bangor previously. He should be capable of giving 6lb here to Thisonetime, who has been a beaten favourite three times in his four starts over hurdles and was beaten 17 lengths at Sedgefield on Wednesday. Chosen Tribe is preferred to Westello of the others.
