HENRY GRACE has obvious claims after going close over track and trip earlier this month. He can go one better racing off the same mark given today's opposition is only modest to say the least. Warden Bond has slipped down the weights but has done all his winning so far at Wolverhampton while Malih continues to slide down the handicap without showing any improvement. Top Set finished closer in a Class 7 event last time but Movie Magic looks the biggest threat on her earlier placed efforts.
