WOT A SHOT has gone up 3lb since just failing to hold off Supreme Command, with King's Wharf fifth, here last month but sharp tracks suit Nicky Richards’ eight-year-old and he may be the one to beat as long as there is no more rain. Raised On Grazeon is having only her third run over hurdles having been placed twice at Market Rasen and should be thereabouts. Dance Of Fire has hinted at ability but Royal Mandate probably has more scope on his handicap debut.
