The rejuvenated GREY BOY has been holding his form well. He's won three times this year and gets a tentative vote as he looks the one most likely to run his race again today. George Baker has been beaten by a narrow margin on his last two starts and still awaits that elusive first win, but Mr Chocolate Drop scored over C&D last month and could figure again with a 5lb claimer easing his burden. Hathaway produced a better effort last time and Gee Major will have come on for his recent reappearance.
