      Verdict

      Fiftyshadesofgrey hasn't won since completing a double in 2015 but a recent drop in the ratings allow him into this 0-85 and he can make his presence felt. Mr Bossy Boots has had 14 starts for Amanda Perrett without winning since landing a Class 2 handicap at Newcastle two years ago but hasn't been running badly and has been given a chance by the assessor. BOBBY WHEELER drops into this grade for the first time in his career and gave notice of an imminent victory under tonight's rider in a better class handicap here a couple of weeks ago. He's handed the vote though Arnarson didn't get the run of the race at Chelmsford after an impressive success on Tapeta at Wolverhampton. Helfire has a fine all-weather record but returns from a break on her highest ever mark.
