KING GRIS was gambled on and won as he liked at Ayr last week starting out for Gordon Elliott. This is tougher but he could be miles ahead of the handicapper and can rack up a sequence. Fresh might be the time to catch Gege Ville and he might be the chief danger ahead of Getaway Master, who escapes a penalty for his Carlisle success in a messy race.
