Verdict

Jay Are looks to follow up last week's Plumpton win under a penalty and must have every chance of doing so. But ALL BUT GREY was quietly fancied at Ludlow last month following a fair fencing debut at Chepstow and was well in touch when falling. Micheal Nolan's claim will help his cause here and he could be worth another chance. Head Spin has won at Plumpton and Southwell this season but blotted his copybook at Chepstow last time. The remainder are difficult to fancy on all known form.
