Verdict
Morty had all manner of problems from the gate last week so his supporters will be keen to overlook that debacle. GUSTAV GRAVES has not been seen on the Turf since his days with Ed Bethell and with Derek Shaw among the winners, he can give a good account. Eeh Bah Gum was not disgraced over five furlongs and he has raced over six furlongs around here in the past. Mr Orange is known as something of a Pontefract specialist these days and while that is the case, he has dropped a fair way in the handicap since his hey-day.
