GUSTAV GRAVES was trapped wide when well held here last time and had gone close over C&D prior to that so he might prove the answer to a trappy opener. Hannah's Return only got a 1 lb nudge for her 7f course success in October so she'll be a threat if as effective over this shorter distance. Glorious Charmer is back on a good mark and needs keeping an eye on in the market.
