THE GREY ONE has been a model of consistency this season and is given the vote to get his head in front at the expense of Sunny Spells and Red Suede Shoes. The selection has not won since last October when landing back-to-back victories. Milton Bradley had a pretty poor start to the year but his horses have finally hit form and with luck in running he is sure to go close once again. Sunny Spells has not been seen out for over a year now but had been improving with race experience. He managed to gain victory on his latest start at Great Leighs last September and if fit from his lay-off he can once again run with credit. Red Suede Shoes sports cheek pieces for the first time having run well in defeat through most of the summer, and if working the oracle he is another to add to the short list.
