Verdict
Course and distance winner Grams And Ounces enjoyed a really fruitful time of things last autumn but is now inevitably higher in the handicap as a result but if in the same level of form must not be ruled out. Scales and DANCEINTOTHELIGHT are closely matched on their running here in November but the latter has since impressed with a dominant display at Catterick and can go in again to make it a family success for the McCains. Reyno has yet to shed maiden status over hurdles but he does enjoy this better ground and inhabits a decent mark, whilst the unexposed Un Prophete is very noteworthy on this handicap debut after a much - improved effort last time.
