In depth

Verdict

GRAND COUREUR came from out of the clouds to overtake the luckless Scartare over course and distance last month. He’ll need to improve again to defy a 6lb rise but is getting 26lb, less allowances, from Bangor winner Damut I'm Out. A step up in trip might suit Market Rasen third Getaway North and Anti Cool should have benefited from a reappearance at that track. Swinton Diamond won in a higher grade when last seen but that was almost two years ago.
