Verdict

Smoking Pigeon only weakened on the run-in on his hurdles bow at Uttoxeter but GROSVENOR COURT was staying on over 2m4f at Southwell and only beaten a couple of lengths. On that evidence, the extra furlong here will suit and he might be a bit of value against bumper winner Shearer. Maroochi finished third at Worcester in May but was struggling when falling at Exeter earlier this month.
