Verdict
KIM WEXLER has been in fine form at Wolverhampton having gone close in both subsequent starts since making all there last month. Murbih has been in better form since returning to the all-weather and scored over track and trip recently but Idoapologise has done all his winning over longer trips so far. So Grateful is at his best here and beat the selection back in August though remains 8lb higher.
