Verdict

GRIFTER (NAP) posted a decent effort when fourth over track and trip on his return from an absence and debut for a new yard. He was winning off a 12lb higher mark last year and can confirm latest running with Show No Fear. Dual hurdles winner Eagle‘s Realm had the measure of Kitten‘s Dream when successful over a shorter trip at Wolverhampton while Induro De Fontaine won over 2m at Lingfield back in April but Trailblazer has yet to win anywhere after 21 attempts.
