Verdict
Meribel Millie won at Doncaster in November but was then only fourth under her penalty at Cheltenham last month. Chilli Romance has been placed in both starts so far while Isle Of Ewe was second at Hexham in March. Only For Love stayed on late behind Show On The Road at Taunton last month and is getting closer but CHINA GREY is a full sister to useful hurdler Olofi and could be worth a small interest on her racecourse debut. She is preferred to another newcomer Midnight Monarch.
