      Verdict

      Grimsby Town made a promising debut when third at Dundalk last month but has switched yards since. He’s still preferred to another import from Ireland in Bright Blue but MURAU makes most appeal. James Fanshawe’s charge finished well ahead of a subsequent dual winner when runner-up over 1m3f at Southwell last time and can go one better in this. Boudica Warrior is fitted with headgear after finishing second over today’s trip at Wolverhampton and looks best of the remainder.
