        Verdict

        Misty Grey bids for a hat-trick of course wins having scored over 6f here a fortnight ago but he’s stepped upped a grade for this along with Papa Stour, who made a winning reappearance at Kempton last month. Intuitive was also returning from a lay-off when fourth at Chelmsford and looks to have decent claims while Ventura Lightning is creeping closer as he slips further down the weights. But TRANCHEE has done nothing but improve this year an,d given he won over track and trip the last time he raced on the all-weather back in July, David Loughnane’s charge gets the vote.
