Verdict
GRANDADS COTTAGE only won by a neck at Wetherby last time but that was his first outing after a lengthy absence and his chasing debut. He can go in again in this lower grade. Fable came good over fences when scoring at Bangor and looks the main threat while Quinta Do Mar should improve for a recent debut over the larger obstacles and has won off a higher mark over timber. Name In Lights has plenty to find with the latter.
