Grey Waters makes the trip over from Ireland having won twice over hurdles this year but has yet to score on the Flat. Ocean Gale was placed over track and trip recently and can figure but THANKYOU VERY MUCH was having her first start on the Flat this year when runner-up over 2m at Newcastle. James Bethell’s mare looks capable of winning off her current mark on that form and is preferred to Woofie, who won over today’s trip at Chelmsford earlier. Author's Dream went close over 2m when last at this venue while Caracas posted a much better effort last time having slipped down the weights.
