Grams And Ounces has every chance after going close at Ffos Las three weeks ago and Lord Raglan is not out of it on his best form of last season. High Resolution still looks too high in the handicap after landing a hat-trick at Hamilton last July, but Fibresand winner Staff Sergeant is worth noting in the betting on his return. ROSBAY scored at Newcastle earlier this month and, despite a rise in the weights, is only 1lb higher than when scoring in soft ground at Doncaster last year. Tim Easterby's charge looks capable of following up here.
