      Verdict

      Gravistas never looked like catching the winner when runner-up at Wolverhampton though further progress should be forthcoming over this longer trip. He’s preferred to stablemate Henry's Conquest but JUST HUBERT is proven over the distance having just missed out at Kempton a fortnight ago and it’s Bill Muir’s colt that gets the nod. Tony Chestnut is another upped in distance on the back of modest efforts so far while the newcomer Iron Mike is related to a host of winners and worthy of a second glance.
