Verdict

GRANDIOSO comes out best on today's terms. He ran below par over 3m here last time but was placed over track and trip before that and should be bang there at the finish and reverse latest running with third-placed Hazy Tom in the process. Tugboat drops back in distance on his return to regulation fences and beat Ballytober over 3m here last year. The latter has a recent run in a point-to-point under his belt while Neverownup won one of these events last term but was pulled-up on his recent reappearance.
