Approachability made a winning debut when successful at Pontefract but he’s penalised for that success and GRENOBLE can take advantage. The Haggas colt was no match for an odds-on winner when runner-up at Yarmouth but the extra distance is expected to suit and the yard continues to fire in the winners. Dark Mystery is another with a shout having improved to finish second on soft ground at Hamilton and the latter is preferred to Franklin William as well as the newcomers Zain Nights and Drill To Dream.
