Verdict

Last year's winner GUSTRAV GRAVES showed better signs at Newcastle last Thursday and is given a chance to build on that as he's dipped to 14 lb below the mark he defied at Newcastle last March. Basholo knows where the winning post is here and is second choice ahead of Apache Star, who might have just needed it back from a short break here over Christmas.
