Race preview
EL GRANJERO has posted a string of creditable second-placed finishes in maiden/novice company. The five-year-old's recent narrow defeat over C&D sets a fair standard and he could make it fourth-time lucky over timber. The biggest threat may emerge in the shape of Stay If U Want To, who offered plenty to work with on his hurdles bow when runner-up at Catterick last month. The Sad Shepherd also enters calculations on his stable debut for Alastair Ralph.
