Verdict

THE GRAY GHOST saw off a subsequent winner when opening his account in bumpers on his final run for David Harry Kelly in July and looks an interesting recruit to hurdling having joined an up-and-coming yard, so he gets to nod. Ballytechno caught the eye with his late burst into second on his hurdling debut at Worcester last month and looks sure to improve now upped in trip, with Shady Wadey making most appeal of the remainder.
