      Verdict

      Grangeclare North pulled too hard on his debut at Warwick but may settle better on this quicker surface. MR MACKAY has run well in both starts to date and this looks a much easier assignment. Nigel Twiston-Davies’ charge can make it third-time lucky, though Out Of Focus did catch the eye when fourth at Ffos Las. Navajo Indy should prove the pick of the newcomers being a full brother to the useful Flat and hurdles winner Navajo Pass.
