Formscan  - A first-time hood and 74-day break worked the oracle for THE GRAY GHOST when denying a Dan Skelton hotpot to open his account over hurdles at Newcastle. Although a rating of 117 on his handicap bow may require further improvement, the top-weight looks capable of better. The biggest threat may emerge in the shape of Circuit Breaker, who shouldn't be underestimated dropping in distance. The in-form Albatala can also have a say if seeing out the rise in trip.
