Race preview
GORDON GREY recorded a career-best effort when taking the Ladies' Derby over C&D and the reliable four-year-old may well have more to come, despite a 7lb rise. Warning Sign arrives following a brace of seconds, with the most recent effort seeing him beaten a head at Newbury. He is respected off 2lb higher, while Lord Melbourne, winner of the Queen Mother's Cup at York in June, is more than capable of being in the mix.
