Verdict

Hot Hot Hot has won twice at Wolverhampton but has barely raised a gallop on Turf so far. The latter comment also applies to Glamorous Force and Heartstar has yet to pull up any trees on Tapeta or Fibresand. Comeatchoo is 0-11 on Turf so, almost by default, the vote goes to GRANDMA, who has only had two runs at Newcastle and may be capable of better.
