Granny McPhee has won over 1m2f here and has the beating of Danderek on latest running. She has yet to prove as good over today's trip however and finished less than a length ahead of ORIENTAL CAVALIER over C&D in May. The latter has since scored over 1m4f at Doncaster and despite being 3lb higher this looks an easier task. Lord Raglan tries this distance for the first time today, but Gottany O's won over C&D on soft ground last month and looks a danger along with Shernando, who went close at this track earlier this month.
