Verdict

Few make any appeal on recent form but Irish raider GREY ATLANTIC WAY ran well for third at Wincanton on his first start since October. Ed Linehan’s charge is only 2lb higher for this and another bold bid is expected. Get Wishing has had a wind operation since pulled-up at Ffos Las but had placed here earlier and can figure while Hot Smoked posted a better effort without threatening on her latest outing and Master Majic may do better now handicapping for the first time.
