C&D winner. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 12/1) 41 days ago. Back to a potentially lenient mark and he'd been in reasonable form prior to latest effort.

Grey Galleon^v²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: J Mitchell| T: R A Teal| OR: 72| D

10/1

Creditable 1¾ lengths third of 11 to Capote's Dream in handicap at this C&D (4/1) 21 days ago. Should give another good account but might not be able to turn the tables with old rival.

Form: 820-233

Forecasts

Capote's Dream (8/11), Spring Romance (5/1), Grey Galleon (10/1), Phuket Power (10/1), Last Page (10/1), The Blue Bower (12/1), The Lamplighter (18/1), Be Prepared (66/1)

CAPOTE'S DREAM overcame an unfavourable position to make a winning start for this stable and still looks well-treated after a 5-lb rise, so he's preferred to Grey Galleon who was back in third that day. Spring Romance had excuses at Chelmsford 4 days ago, so he should be back on his game.
