Forecasts

Grey Gray (2/1), Hala Emaraaty (11/4), Bazball (3/1), Back Before Dark (15/2), Gray's Inn (8/1), Lady Dandylion (11/1), Patasola (20/1)

GREY GRAY arrives having filled the runners-up spot both starts to date, latterly at Brighton 9 days ago, and she can put her experience to good use and come out on top. Alice Haynes has made a bright start with her juveniles and newcomer Hala Emaraaty is one to note. Bazball is also worth a look.
