The application of headgear has witnessed Griggy win four of only nine outings for his current yard though all four victories came over 6f. Han Solo Berger is not badly treated on last year’s wins though has yet to score on the all-weather and Spirited Guest is preferred on his success at Chelmsford in November. Cheekpieces worked the oracle for MAY REMAIN in Ireland when winning three times in five starts at Dundalk. He’s been switched to George Baker’s yard subsequently and looks worth sticking with only 2lb higher than when last successful. Kodiak Attack hasn’t raced since September but ran consistently well in 2019 and could be in the mix once again.
