Verdict
Cold Harbour won over track and trip on his penultimate start having earlier been beaten a head by Princess Harley here. But GRANDSCAPE was having only his second outing on the Fibresand when scoring over 1m3f last month and Ed Dunlop’s charge remains on a winning mark compared to an earlier success on the Turf. Sociologist is usually in the mix but has been beaten by all three of the above while Croeso Cymraeg returns to this surface for the first time since winning here at this time last year but has something to prove off his current mark.
