Verdict
A debut winner at Sandown, Golden Boy Grey ran poorly when penalised at Newbury last time and steps up in trip. But BEAUPORT may fare better under his penalty having won over a longer distance here last month when eased down in the closing stages and the Twiston-Davies charge can go close again. Manhattan Bullet finished second of only three runners at Plumpton while Calvario could only place when sent off favourite at Chepstow in November and the tongue-tie is back on for this. Whatya On About is a likely improver while multiple point-to-point winner Streets Of London debuts under Rules on his reappearance.
