Gatsby Grey holds a progressive profile that gives cause for optimism despite rating three points behind the top-rated Pahlavi on our assessments, and over twelve furlongs on good-to-firm ground at Gowran Park the conditions look well-suited to a horse continuing to improve. Pahlavi represents the most significant threat as the highest-rated runner in the field, while Forthill and Liberated Light will need to be kept onside in a competitive eleven-runner heat. The case for our selection rests on the trajectory of improvement rather than the current rating gap, though that does demand a degree of faith. **Gatsby Grey** is the selection.
