Verdict
GRAND MORNING still seeks a first victory over fences but has strong claims on his latest second at Hexham. Looksnowtlikebrian thrives here but the going may be a bit too testing for Tim Vaughan’s raider today. Lough Derg Jewel has won twice this term but isn’t very consistent and has never won off a mark this high. Kings Eclipse and Lough Derg Farmer would be surprise winners.
