Grosmont finally came good in a maiden contest at Wolverhampton last time. But he'll find this tougher and Coursing is penalised for winning at the same venue recently albeit with plenty to spare. ONE MOMENT has yet to win but began handicapping off an 11lb higher mark and it could be his turn today dropping down a grade. Ya Halla is 7lb higher than when scoring over today's trip and has been well beaten in Class 7 company since but Kempton winner Jebediah Shine may do better here after a couple of outings at Southwell.
