A winner at Musselburgh, Barnay found only one too good at Market Rasen last time but has been raised a further 5lb. Let's Sway has been in better form lately and could figure while Snowed In is back on a winning mark but GRIMM STAR gets the speculative vote. He never threatened the winner when placed at Hereford on his handicap debut but drops down a grade for this and may prove good enough off his current mark.
