THE GRAFTER has always promised to make a better chaser and having justified support in comfortable fashion on his recent C&D debut, he looks capable of defying an 8 lb rise in the weights. Always A Reason and Stick With Me Sam also arrive on the up and they head the opposition in an interesting affair that is likely to prove strong form for the grade.
