In depth
Verdict
The lightly-raced Golden Boy Grey won twice over hurdles last season but doesn’t really have a chasing pedigree and Glory And Honour suffered a heavy fall at Ffos Las and may need a confidence-booster. TORN AND FRAYED is weighted to confirm Cheltenham running with Uttoxeter winner Faivoir and can make the most of his experience to see off Cascova, who won a four-runner maiden hurdle here in March but is bred for the Flat.
