Thegreyvtrain bids for a hat-trick carrying a penalty for last week’s course and distance success. But the front-runner looks vulnerable to another recent winner in TOP BOY (NAP) as the latter drops down from 6f having won an apprentices’ race at Windsor. He not only escapes a penalty but Darragh Keenan can also utilise his 5lb claim on this occasion and Tony Carroll sent out last year’s winner. Powerful Dream is regularly placed here but hasn’t won at the track for some time now while Valentino Sunrise would prefer slower ground. Silverrica is back on a winning mark but La Fortuna is best on the all-weather.
