The run that OLDGRANGEWOOD turned in over C&D last time will if he can repeat that display be good enough to reward him with a victory as there are no progressive types to bump into this time around. The handicapper has kept him on a mark of 137 and with the cheekpieces going on for the first time he’s the leading player in this. He won’t have it all his own way though as Sizing Granite has indicated that he’s his way back to something near his best of late having run a big race at Punchestown last time. Market Rasen winner Van Gogh Du Granit has to be respected but his penalty will make life tougher for him and he meets two potentially well handicapped sorts in this.
