GREY DANUBE put a disappointing effort behind him when finishing second over 7f here last timeout and he can go one better in this seven runner 1m handicap. The selection is likely to be accompanied towards the head of affairs by Carried who's best form has come over further but looks capable of finishing runner-up while Red Avenger may well fair best of the race having placed over today's C&D last time.
