The standout on paper across every key metric: top composite score in the field by a clear margin, top speed rating at 60, best first-bend rating at 64, and won last time out with a performance of 79 at A5 460m — an impressive effort that earns a step up to A4. The form over six runs is remarkably consistent: 79, 56, 60, 75, 62, 56 — this dog goes to post every time and delivers. The All-Rounder pace profile means getting a decent early position is achievable despite the speed being genuine. Trainer C Darch at 24% win rate adds to the confidence. The one concern is trap 5 — at Valley 460m A4 that position produces only 16.5% of winners versus trap 6 at 27%. But when a dog has this quality advantage across speed, composite, bend rating, and recent form, the trap position has to be outweighed. If the tight bends here cause no interference early, Grayson should have enough raw ability to assert.
