Verdict

A very competitive finale. GREY DAWNING was merely pushed out to see off a next-time-out winner from the Nicholls yard over an extended 2m at Exeter last time and an opening mark in the low 120s could underestimate this useful prospect, particularly as this trip should see him in an even better light. It's likely there's still a bigger performance in lightly-raced 6-y-o The Bomber Liston so he's a possible big threat, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Storm Dennis is third choice.

  1. GREY DAWNING (IRE)
  2. THE BOMBER LISTON (IRE)
  3. STORM DENNIS (IRE)
