Verdict
GRAPEVINE was beaten under a length on his handicap at Doncaster last month and might be the value in this under a 3lb claimer. Bedrock will be a danger, however, if staying the longer trip. He's out of a Galileo mare so stamina shouldn't be a problem and he was placed in a higher grade on his reappearance. Ilzam and Lord Huntingdon arrive in good form while Premier Currency and Lilbourne Prince were second and third over a mile at Nottingham. Lingfield maiden winner King of Dreams looks to be facing a stiff task under top weight but Fool To Cry will strip fitter for his run at Beverley.
