    Verdict

    GREY BOY his holding his form well and was beaten only a length at Lingfield last week. He was a cosy winner over C&D before that and Tony Carroll's veteran looks to have another win in him off his current mark. Celtic Ransom is not badly treated on his best form and Paul Hanagan's booking takes the eye, but Kielty's Folly has struggled since winning at Kempton in January. Mr Maximas finally got off the mark when winning here a fortnight ago but steps up a grade today.
