Verdict

Grissom is usually thereabouts while Mass Rally looked all over the winner at Doncaster last time only to get run out of it close home by Rasaman. Blinkers could encourage a more compliant attitude here and the top weight is preferred to Misplaced Fortune and Tajneed, who struggled to land a claimer at Ripon latest. Powerful Presence is unsurprisingly climbing the weights after rattling up a hat-trick but Arganil should go well as he wasn't beaten far in this last year and is only 4lb higher. Baby Strange won't mind the ground and has claims, along with Cheveton, but MON BRAV could be the one today as he's weighted to reverse Thirsk running last month with Arganil and is on a decent mark now judged on his latest second at Nottingham.
