Grey Market¹⁷

Runner-up on second of 2 outings in points and very promising start over hurdles in Perth novice 17 days ago. Sets a solid standard on that showing and leading claims up in trip.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: William Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: James Moffatt

14/1

Some promise in bumpers but discouraging start over hurdles at Carlisle 10 weeks ago, awkward third and unseating rider next. Goes up markedly in trip now.

Qarbatsi¹¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

5/2

£40,000 buy who won a point. This won't take much winning on hurdles debut and he's well worth a look.
