        Verdict

        Kelpie Grey finally opened his account when returning a 28/1 winner at Ayr but VINCE LE PRINCE is another recent winner. The latter took advantage of a slide down the weights fitted with cheekpieces for the first time at Catterick and there could be more to come in the headgear. Explorers Way has been in good form here but has been raised 10lb for last month’s course and distance success.
