Verdict

Ruby Cottage and Red Alert have been taking it in turns to beat each other here with the former coming out best last time. But GREY GALLEON was beaten less than a length in a higher-grade sprint at Newmarket last time and can take advantage of the drop in class. The winning run of Cherish came to end in better company here last month but she’s not out of this while Portelet Bay landed a double back in July and is preferred to Amathus.
