Verdict
Gran Paradiso had Wazowski back in fifth when beating a subsequent winner at Sedgefield. But Micky Hammond's four-year-old must now shoulder a penalty so there may not be much between the pair on today's terms. BLACK IVORY never looked like being caught in a bumper here in June. He'll have had plenty of schooling and it would be no surprise to see Malcolm Jefferson's charge make a winning start over timber.
