Verdict

GRANGE RANGER arrives at the top of his game and, based on the way he's shaped the last twice, the return to this trip could eke out a bit more improvement, so he's fancied to prevail in a well-contested handicap chase. Glittering Love should also be on the premises and Elan de Balme is interesting back from a winter break.
