GRIGGY romped home by four lengths at Chelmsford last week. He’ll likely be raised by a lot more in the future than the 5lb extra he carries today and looks worth sticking with in his current frame of mind. Previous course and distance winner Black Isle Boy finished behind third-placed Broughton Excels and Hey Ho Let's Go here a week ago while Chocco Star won at Lingfield earlier but could only place off today’s higher mark last time. Phoenix Star drops back down in trip having won when last over course and distance back in November and may prove best of the rest.
