Grave Doubts has been in cracking form of late and he is taken to make it three in a row despite a sharp rise in the weights he was a facile winner last time out when defeating Carpet Princess, and he again will be hard to beat with conditions in his favour. Long Shot rates the main danger he was thought good enough to run in the championship bumper at Cheltenham and if he takes to hurdles will be hard to beat especially getting weight from Grave Doubts. Isam Top has been holding his own in handicaps of late and will find this easier but he needs to improve again to beat the principals. Kalajistan tan is from a top yard but has become disappointing of late. Cock Of The Roost has also shown a modicum of ability but gives the impression he will be seen to better effect over further. The remainder have shown varying degrees of form but need to improve on there best to score.
