GREYCIOUS GIRL has been in good form throughout the spring and can gain a second career victory here. She's the only 3-y-o in the line-up and should have too many gears for her older rivals. Silent Witness has been running well and she has to be taken seriously having won on polytrack in the past. Rockesbury can't be ruled out under a penalty either.
