Hand Grenade was beaten less than a length at Warwick on her debut but that was a weak maiden and it will be a surprise if she's good enough to get the better of REALIZE. Placed in all three starts, Hughie Morrison's gelding was only beaten a neck by Noble Deed over course and distance four weeks ago and a repeat of that form would probably be good enough this evening. Carry On Clapping was third at Salisbury last October and could be open to improvement but none of the others, including debutant Another Name, make much appeal.
