HINT OF GREY is the clear pick of these runners on the ratings, and despite possibly being a shade flattered by her mark of 119, she ought to have enough in the locker to see off a fairly moderate bunch of rivals and record a third success over hurdles. Hit and Run is the pick off the remainder with his hurdling much better here recently, whilst the free going Getonsam will attempt to make all and could spring a surprise by figuring amongst the placings at decent odds.
