SIZING GRANITE has found a new lease of life at Newton Abbot this summer. Both recent victories have come in a higher grade than this so the Tizzard gelding should make a bold bid to defy a further 8lb rise. Young Wolf gets on well with Jonjo O’Neill Jnr and this slightly stiffer test will suit after the six-year-old got beaten for pace last time at Southwell. Glanvilles Guest also stays well and is in good form but Percy Street still has stamina to prove and has never really built on promising juvenile form.
