In depth

Verdict

OLDGRANGEWOOD, who won a point-to-point in Ireland on good ground last March then went for £70,000 at the sales, hasn't been as effective on softer ground over hurdles but has run reasonably well and looks the one to be on in a poor maiden. Farewelltocheyenne landed a Downpatrick bumper in 2014 though has been well beaten in two starts over hurdles but Orioninverness ran better than expected over 2m4f on heavy going here last month and can improve again. Craiganboy took a nasty fall here last month and was well beaten on his next start at Haydock.
