Mcgroarty is probably high enough in the weights at present and has nine lengths to find with the rejuvenated DOUBLE W’S on Warwick running, though is 5lb better off. Ruth Jefferson’s gelding is still well treated on past form so a hat-trick beckons. Champagne At Tara has dropped to a fair mark and could stake a claim while Dandridge hinted at a revival at Kempton and is another who has slipped down the handicap. Valseur Du Granval is running well but Wells De Lune doesn’t look up to winning in this grade.
