Forecasts

Klassy Kay (5/4), No Grey Area's (9/2), Resurrected Duke (5/1), Mattie's Mountain (11/2), Chalky White (11/1), Trans Wood (11/1), Colonel Lesley (14/1), Fighting Fit (14/1), Winston Wolfe (18/1), Pottlerath (18/1), Secret Cargo (22/1), Mr Manhattan (28/1), Aunty Audrey (33/1), So Kind (50/1), Dasmyhoss (50/1), Gray Duke (66/1), Fleurys Fort (100/1)

NO GREY AREAS shaped well in coming from a long way back when third on handicap debut at this course last time and, down in trip, makes plenty of appeal in his bid to get off the mark. Klassy Kay, a comfortable scorer on her first outing for Willie Mullins, strikes as the clear danger, with Resurrected Duke also likely to be on the premises.
