Verdict
Gravitate looked badly in need of the experience when making his debut at Yarmouth and is certain to have come on for the run though he was beaten quite a long way. Engrossing showed some potential last season and is another who didn't look quite ready on his return at Warwick. That will have done him a power of good and he should be in the shake-up SAFFA HILL is the form pick on his short-head defeat by Holy Roman Warrior at York in July and though beaten subsequently he's been given plenty of time and is taken to open his account. There's probably more to come from Going Grey and he can prove best of the remainder.
