Stronger numerically than the Ffos Las contest in which GRANARD made a winning hurdles debut earlier in the month, but not a lot to recommend with regards his other rivals so far. The majority of the field are either inexperienced over hurdles, returning from an absence or stepping up in trip, so the Nigel Twiston-Davies trained runner looks by far the safest option. Whilst he drops slightly back in trip today, heavy ground at a stiff galloping track will help to offset that potential negative factor. Boy Named Sioux should prove best of the rest.
