FormscanBy Mark Nunan - GALACTIC GREY ran a fine race when runner-up at Tipperary last month and can go one better on his third run back from a long absence. The Dark Angel gelding had recent winner Khafaaq behind him in third on that occasion and the unexposed 4-year-old can race off the same mark here. Lord McZie was behind the selection in fifth at Tipperary before finishing third when sent off a well-backed favourite at Cork the following day. He was nearest at the finish over six furlongs then and stepping up to a mile could be a good move. By contrast, Silent Performance is coming back in trip after getting off the mark at Down Royal as is her stable companion Sheila, who is 3lb well-in after going close at Gowran Park last weekend
