Verdict

Grandstand somehow managed to beat a much higher rated rival in a seller over 7f here last time and it remains to be seen if that was a fluke while Dreamboat Annie also scored over 7f at the same fixture when racing from out of the handicap. But HARRY’S RIDGE is creeping closer and having finished runner-up at Redcar a fortnight ago, Eric Alston’s charge gets the vote in this company. Drop Kick Murphi was placed in a couple of Class 7 contests earlier while Wiff Waff finished runner-up in one of these contests at Bath last time.
