A real headscractcher for punters. Grangewick Flight has looked like winning a race for the last couple of months following a trio of seconds to Harlov, Red Emperor and Yankie Jamie. Today is an easier task but the stable form is conspicous by its lack of winners. San Francisco has a very interesting booking in Tony Dobbin. He has been long odds-against on his previous starts but the horse must have shown something for the booking to br made. Just For Ger managed to beat the useful Chergan at Musselburgh earlier in the year. He had a pipe-opener over hurdles recently and should be thereabouts if he has come on for the race. We will take a chance with Sir Norman. Officially he has a few pounds to find on these but he looks progressive and followed up a recent win at the course with a creditable second at Sandown. Hailstorm looks the one to avoid at a short price.
