GRANDAD'S CAP (1) opened his account with fences convincingly at the second attempt in latest. Sure to have more improvement in him and will take some stopping again here despite the added burden. One to beat. The challenger will likely be MOOR END (3) who has made a positive start to chasing including a second place finish over course and distance. Must prove himself in testing conditions. Rates a top chance. THE BRICKEY RANGER (5) is a point-to-point winner who could have more to offer on just the second chase outing. OWL OF ATHENS (4) holds some ability though must improve on recent form. Best of the remainder.
