Verdict
GRANGECLARE NATIVE, a winning point-to-pointer and bumper, ran in a Grade 2 on his hurdling debut then fell when long odds-on at Gowran on his comeback. Winning bumper Joshua Webb had some fair form over timber last season and looks a threat with his yard going so well while stablemate Sellarbridge looks a nice prospect for the future. Get Crackin was a 100/1 chance when showing massive improvement to finish a close third over this trip at Gowran and should be capable of further progress.
