No win since September 2015, but tends to reserve his best for trips similar to this, and has been running some solid races on fast ground recently.

9/4
Dual-purpose performer who won at Bath last time (1m5f, firm) having also shown some good form in low-grade hurdle races. Up 6lb for that last win and is unlikely to find too much improvement given his profile, but should still be on the premises.

Clearly enjoyed the return to 1m6f last time, winning by just under a length, and is raised 4lb as a result. That seems fair, and she should run another big race in conditions that should suit.

Verdict

GRACEFUL LADY relished a return to 1m6f at Yarmouth last time and had run some eye-catching races prior to that, suggesting that this trip should be her optimum. She has to overcome a 4lb rise in the weights but she retains the scope to do so on ground that is fine for her, and it would be a big disappointment not to see her run well at the very least. Gambol is another last time out winner, and has also shown ability in winning races over hurdles recently, so is preferred next, ahead of Wordiness, who also has some relatively solid recent form.
