Verdict
Im Too Generous made all at Musselburgh on his reappearance but has been raised 10lb for his trouble. Enfin Phil went close at Sedgefield a fortnight ago and is another to consider while Captain Woodie was still well beaten when runner-up in novice company at Warwick but is not easily dismissed for Nicky Henderson’s powerful yard now handicapping. Yes No Maybe So is another handicapping for the first time but GROVEMAN faced a stiff task in a Listed handicap on last month’s return to action. Racing off a lower mark than when fourth in a tougher race at Aintree last summer, he gets the vote in an open race.
