Verdict
GRAASTEN is hard to oppose up against such weak opposition. Rated much higher than these over timber, he’s the only one with chasing experience and having won over fences at Fontwell in October, Gary Moore’s charge can defy a penalty for that success with a clear round. Mine's A Pint and Pete's Choice race off similar marks over timber though the former arrives in the better form while Uallrightharry may do better over the larger obstacles today having won a point-to-point.
