The vote goes to multiple C&D winner GREY FOX, who left the strong impression that his turn is again near when third at Sandown where he did well to finish as close as he did, given how far back he was when the race began in earnest. Star Player failed to reward his supporters at Redcar a fortnight ago but a reproduction of his Pontefract effort in June would put him firmly in the picture, while Global Esteem and the in-form One Step Beyond are others to consider.
