GRIMES FAITH can take this handicap with Kings College Boy and Sunley Sovereign sure to have their supporters. Kevin Ryan's charge was rated in the high 70s just a season ago but the handicapper has at least decided to loosen the grip and he was a ready winner at Ayr off a mark of 58 last month. He could have followed up at Musselburgh a few days later had he not met with significant interference near the finish and, off a 1lb lower mark today, he rates a strong call on this occasion. Kings College Boy is effective on a variety of different goings. There is a compelling argument to suggest that he probably is a better performer on this surface these days and he is sure to give punters a run for their money. Sunley Sovereign was an unfancied 50/1 chance at Hamilton last week but that didn't stop him breaking a run that had seen him winless since a seller at Southwell well over a year previously. Ruth Carr turns him out quickly again before the assessor gets a chance to take action. Toy Top is a course winner though is inherently frustrating. She might still need the handicapper to give her a little more relief. Dakota Rain is tried in a first time visor. Whozart, who was punted heavily on his most recent assignment at Beverley, continues to go close without securing the top slot. Dark Champion is coming back to a winning mark and is one to watch closely in the market. Ursus is best of the rest.
