Verdict

Grey Report looks to have frightened off many of the five-day acceptors and we will take him to beat Bohemian Boy on this occasion. Phillip Hobbs¿ charge, third to Cornish Rebel at Newbury, made no mistake when shouldering a welter-burden at Fontwell. Bohemian Boy ran a creditable race behind Sungates at Folkestone. He was probably beaten by the penalty on that occasion and would need to produce much more in order to beat Grey Report. Super Road Train has had one start under rules and duly obliged in a bumper on the track on fast ground. Kitte Ou Double looked in need of further when finishing third at Haydock and had decent chasing form in France prior to crossing the English Channel. Redberry Holly looks hard to fancy, and Grey Report is selected with Bohemian Boy for the forecast.
