In good form over hurdles and record under this code none too shabby for a race of this nature. Gone very close over C&D in the past so has to merit an interest despite shouldering topweight.
Failed to get his head in front during his time inIreland and has yet to inspire confidence since joining his current yard. Hard to fancy just now.
Sound form posted for John Hammond in France but reached a plateau last year. Interesting if supported on his debut for a new yard but leap of faith required all the same.
Nothing to show from three starts in maiden company but can potentially improve now handicapping. Needs to though, as the evidence points elsewhere for the winner just for the time being.
Modest form in handicaps so far and well beaten when upped to this trip over C&D earlier in the week. Plenty to prove.
C&D winner that is currently well treated on the pick of his form. Latest effort below par and needs to post a more fluent performance this time.
Inauspicious start for her new yard last time was uninspiring. Turf form also poor and not too difficult to overlook on this occasion.
Paid his way under both codes and has been in good from over hurdles of late. Sound claims if readapting to the Flat but only won once under either code since October 2015 and needs everything to go his way. 2lb lower than last winning mark on the Flat, so feasible chance on these terms. Worth a look in the betting.
0-14 so far and limitations there for all to see. Should run his race but is another that is yet to get his head in front when it matters and his will to win beginning to look questionable.
Back on a winning mark and should get the trip. Latest starts have been of a modest level and more needed before a confident recommendation can be forwarded.
Started this year with a win over hurdles at Wetherby but not been in the same form on the Flat since and others make more appeal.
Long-standing maiden but steadily dropping in the weights and showed signs of a revival on seasonal debut. Below that level last time out and work to do if his going to get off the mark at the eighteenth time of asking.
Left Mick Channon after a fruitless couple of seasons and handicap mark has been in decline since joining his new yard. Fourth in a claimer last time out needs to be built upon.
Form on the AW for his previous yard was of a low standard and not achieved much to date. Best watched on debut for a new yard.
Ran well over 1m at the course last August but has yet to convince that 1m4f is ideal for him and makes limited appeal for win only purposes once more here.
Not finished in front of a single rival in each of her last two starts and will need to be transformed by the the first-time cheekpieces if she is going to figure.
Wins on the AW are a distant memory and hard to assess with just one run (in Jersey) to her name since March 2012. Previous turf form nothing special and best watched.
Forecasts
Hint Of Grey (5/4), Brooke's Point (8/1), Eugenic (10/1), The Juggler (10/1), Jeremy's Jet (12/1), Ring Eye (12/1), Tsundoku (12/1), Grams And Ounces (16/1), Mesti Boleh (16/1), Eben Dubai (20/1), Hong Kong Joe (20/1), Miskin (25/1), Outback Guy (25/1), The Greedy Boy (25/1), Lady Lunchalot (40/1), Granny Anne (50/1), Golden Cape (50/1)
This presents HINT OF GREY with a good chance to stamp her authority as the topweight as she has a more convincing profile that the vast majority. Grams And Ounces appeals as the best of the rest, while The Juggler and Brooke's Point are a couple of others than may be capable of making the frame in what is a weak event.
