Verdict

GREY SKIES stepped up markedly on his previous exploits under Rules when making a winning debut for the Donald McCain yard at Uttoxeter last month and he's fancied to make a bold bid to follow up with the prospect of more to come. Escapeandevade rates the chief threat, ahead of bumper winner Kopa Kilana.
