In depth
Verdict
The progressive OH SO GRAND steps up in trip for her handicap debut having defied a penalty when winning at Wolverhampton last week but looks the one to beat. Overactive went close at Leicester last time but will need to improve on an earlier attempt at this longer trip while Gallimimus has recorded his three wins so far over 1m2f and was a well-beaten second over 1m4f in between. Party Island is a prolific winner on the all-weather but has only won once on Turf and that was back in 2020.
