Master Grey’s bid for a hat-trick came up short when beaten over track and trip but Bobby Shaftoe completed a treble at Newcastle with his latest success, though has been raised a further 5lb. Liberated Lad has won twice here already this year and is preferred to Yagan but a chance is taken on BOY ABOUT TOWN. The latter was too keen at Wolverhampton on his first outing since last summer and should settle better today with this extra distance likely to suit Charlie Johnston’s charge.
