Verdict
HENRY GRACE gets another chance after placing in similar company over course and distance on his last three outings. Chandrayaan won here off today’s mark last year and Bassino went close at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start. Just Fab was runner-up over 7f here in October while the likes of West Leake and Rocket Ronnie slide further down the weights.
