Graystown is a course specialist but was well and truly out of sorts last season. RAECIUS FELIX is back on form, however, and the champion jockey keeps the partnership intact after victories at Sedgefield and Kelso. Begoodtoyourself is a consistent sort at this level while Going Mobile’s defeat of Ensel Du Perche here earlier in the month was franked when the third won at Sedgefield earlier this week.
