Grandads Horse had I Have Dreamed just behind when they occupied the paces at Market Rasen in June but the latter hasn't had much racing and can gain revenge. Howard's Legacy was impressive in scoring at Bangor for which he's been raised 9lb so with a 7lb penalty he's well in to complete a double. However, BALLINVARRIG (NAP) looks the one to be on. Tom George's charge did well to land a couple of races in his novice season as he appeared to need further which looked the case when he made a promising reappearance over this trip at Exeter. Imperial Circus went up 7lb for his victory at Ludlow a year ago and hasn't quite been able to cope.
