HINT OF GREY has finished second at Huntingdon and third on the Flat since notching a double at Fakenham and Sedgefield in March. Don Cantillon’s filly should have few problems picking up the winning thread again here. Uluroo showed some promise when fifth here last month, though does have some ground to make up on third Hit and Run. Not much else catches the eye in an ordinary-looking opener.
