Verdict
Savoy Court does have winning form around here and has won over hurdles at Wincanton. But he also has a penalty and needs to bounce back from a poor run on his latest start. GRANARD has a sound jumping pedigree and has been placed in a point-to-point and a bumper so may have the scope to take advantage of the 6lb weight concession. Big Fred looks booked for third spot barring accidents.
