SUBTLE GREY, who won on this card 12 months ago, just appeared to run out of steam after making much of the running on his chasing bow at Bangor. He's sure to strip fitter today and can hang on to his advantage this time. Only Orsenfoolsies looked well beaten when unseating his rider at Catterick and is best watched on his second start after a break but Cartmel winner Morning Royalty is entitled to go well dropped a couple of pounds since his fourth here last time and he makes more appeal than Glacial Rock.
