    Verdict

    Thegreyvtrain is preferred to stable companion Secret Potion back on Turf. FARD finished second over 6f here last summer and was a place ahead of subsequent course and distance winner Rhubarb at Windsor last month. Marco Ghiani keeps the partnership intact and Michael Blake’s charge is now on his lowest-ever mark. Mr Pc won in this grade at Wolverhampton in March but is 0-6 on Turf and has only placed once.
