GREY LIFE (NAP) should have too much class for these if anywhere near his best. Two of his previous wins have come over this trip on soft ground and his yard is enjoying a purple patch at present. Sergeant Pink had a spin on the Flat last month to blow away the cobwebs and will be winning again soon but it's difficult to fancy Roxyfet on recent form and Ultra Du Chatelet's last win came over 3m1f. Molko Jack is still 7lb higher than when winning in a lesser grade at Hexham last May.
