WALSINGHAM GRANGE was caught close home at Catterick last month when Calarules was well beaten and Aislabie unseated. Pam Sly’s charge can go one better in this with further improvement likely. Fixed Rate won twice on the Flat in France and made a promising start for Charlie Mann when second at Newbury recently while Dinsdale looks a likely improver after a debut fourth at Fontwell. Angel In The Snow got no further than the first on his hurdling debut but Force Of Forces is a half-brother to a winner over hurdles and a newcomer to keep an eye on.
