GREY HABIT bounced back to form when runner-up at Fairyhouse last weekend and has a decent shout of going one better if showing up here in similar form. Wild Hunt, Golden Glen, who could be helped by having the cheekpieces back on, and Ask And Answer head the dangers. My Boy Bob would also very much enter the reckoning if getting a run.
