EARL GREZ was diverted here after Catterick's meeting on Friday was abandoned and he has every chance of opening his account over fences. The victim of an inspired AP McCoy ride on Folie A Deux at Warwick last time, Philip Kirby's six-year-old is 3lb higher here but most of his rivals are struggling to recapture their best form. Follow The Sun is an exception having come good at Southwell last month, but Or d'Oudairies needs further and his stable has gone a little quiet lately. Elite Land should strip fitter for his second on the all-weather recently, however, and Folk Tune is capable when in the mood though those days have been few and far between lately.
