Several have been thereabouts recently though both Artemision and Getastar were still well beaten when runner-up on their latest starts. GREY ATLANTIC WAY likes it here and, having found only one to good in a higher grade chase over these fences last time, Danny Brooke’s charge may prove the one to side with. Raecius Felix has failed to threaten in rattling up a string of third places and Well Cliche makes more appeal on a placed effort at Newcastle.
