Verdict
My Bobby Dazzler completed a double at Aintree with his latest victory in June and is only 4lb higher. Southwell winner Go Chique has a conditional’s allowance helping his cause while Fergus Gillard’s 3lb claim also nullifies a rise in the weights for GRANGECLARE GLORY (NAP). The latter has the more recent form with a victory at Newton Abbot earlier in the month and there looks plenty more to come from David Pipe’s charge. Fontwell winner Josie Abbing went close again at Hereford last time though is upped in class today.
