A poor maiden, but GROSMONT boasts the highest handicap rating and has been placed over track and trip on numerous occasions. He's preferred to stablemate Play Nicely and gets a tentative vote to finally come good. On The Huh proved a disappointment last time having showed some promise at Kempton on his debut while Robin Hill has not progressed as expected and headgear is applied for the first-time. Diamondsinthesky has been placed at the track but has a tough task on today's terms.
