Verdict
GRAND LORD placed at Market Rasen and Wincanton at the start of the year and his experience may stand him in good stead here. Winning bumper Sandy Brook was second at Fontwell in March when making his hurdling debut and The Bomber Liston can only improve on his third at Hexham in June. The latter’s new stablemate Another Brown Bear dead-heated in a point-to-point in April but will eventually make a chaser but Jersey should do well over timber and Fantomas gave a bold sight for a long way at Worcester last month.
