MISTY GREY won a decent novice event at Ripon in very taking fashion and there's a chance he could be a step ahead of his rivals at this point in the season. Pinatubo got the hang of things late on at Wolverhampton on debut and he has to be considered the main danger. Dancinginthewoods was a shock winner on debut but there looked to be no fluke about that effort and he can make his presence felt again here up in class.
