Verdict
RAISED ON GRAZEON had been threatening to win before finally doing so at Catterick on New Year's Day. He then carried a big weight to a narrow defeat in a handicap at Ayr and Ross Chapman's claim can see him back to winning ways. Toboggan's Fire made a successful debut over timber at Musselburgh for which he's penalised but showed a willing attitude and looks certain to make a bold bid. He easily holds Dancing Amy on the form book while Off The Hook is gradually getting the hang of the job and had no problems with the heavy going on his two most recent starts.
