KING GRIS has shown much improved form sent handicapping in 2 starts for Gordon Elliott, scoring with something in hand at Hexham on his latest outing, and he can land the hat-trick with further progress to come. Only For Our Man made a promising handicap debut and could be the main danger, with Dark Lieutenant also one to note.
