        Verdict

        Granite City Doc has switched yards but has proved best over 1m2f so far while Al Ozzdi is now 9lb higher than when scoring at Newcastle back in January. My Ukulele would prefer a faster surface but Jackhammer is versatile as regards the going and won four times last year. Philip's Wish is another returning to action and makes his handicap debut but VIVE LA DIFFERENCE ran well despite finishing only fifth at Beverley recently and today’s softer ground will suit Tim Easterby’s charge.
