It's hard to be-GRUDGE Conor Dore's charge his recent success and he can win again at the main expense of Avrilo and old foe Wreningham. A course and distance winner a week ago, the selection is in grand form and was able to put a Leicester flop behind him with a cosy success. He is 3lb worse off with the runner-up Wreningham but he is at home on this ground and goes very well for Jimmy Quinn. Fiftyfourth Street is back from a break and his Get Carter form when last seen looks solid, Make My Dream is fairly-handicapped now after three average runs, whilst Avrilo is in the form of her life and this filly who was once 0 from 20 is far from discounted off this mark of 70. Course and distance winner Liberty Lady is well-drawn and she beat Avrilo in May here, whilst Step It Up beat the selection at Warwick in March. Wreningham completes the list of dangers and this ultra-consistent gelding should be in the first three again, however the tentative nod goes to Grudge.
