Verdict

GRANITE BAY improved for the step up to 10.2f when making a winning handicap debut at Cork recently and, with a 4 lb rise and further progress possible now upped in trip, he is taken to follow-up. Solar Drive was beaten 2½ lengths by Dont Do Dramas at Sligo but there's good reason to believe he can reverse those placings on revised terms here. Latin is also shortlisted.

  1. GRANITE BAY
  2. SOLAR DRIVE (IRE)
  3. DONT DO DRAMAS (IRE)
