With a record of 1-37, Alexander The Grey is hardly an attractive proposition but he still had every chance when unseating Lilly Pinchin at the second-last at Sedgefield last month. FRESH NEW DAWN suffered a similar fate at Perth but is less exposed, though a 2lb rise appears unjustified. Tokaramore won over fences at Hexham just over a year ago but hasn’t raced since November, though is probably the type that doesn’t take much getting fit. Ain't My Fault needs to bounce back from a rare poor run at Market Rasen and remains winless while Fr Humphrey isn’t getting any younger.
