Greyemkay hasn't been running badly and is only a pound higher than when successful in the summer. He is entitled to be thereabouts again as he was well ahead of Appyjack here in September, though the latter did show a bit more last time. My Claire has claims if you ignore her latest run but Meglio Ancora has yet to show any benefit for a tumble down the weights. Shamiana may be capable of winning off her current mark, however, though MILL I AM is even less exposed. She weakened quickly over 1m4f last time but this may well prove to be her optimum trip and Stuart Williams' charge is well worth risking in this modest grade.
