FormscanBy Tom Weekes - WARM IN GOREY wears first-time cheekpieces and disappointed in a recent Clonmel chase but can win from his rating. He is rated 8lb lower over hurdles but, in that sphere, is a dual winner and has contested useful races. His initial chase runs were encouraging, is 14lb better off with Bocelli's Voice for a two lengths course-and-distance beating in April while the form of both May runs at Kilbeggan and Downpatrick (where his saddle slipped) has worked out very well. Bocelli's Voice himself recently showed useful handicap form when finishing third at Kilbeggan. Time Marches On won a similar race at Tipperary in May, when beating Freddie Robdal into fourth place, although was well held on a recent run.
