    In depth

    Verdict

    Grageelagh Girl was a little underwhelming at Newton Abbot on a first start after wind surgery and maybe the drop back in trip will aid her cause. She has only been dropped 1lb though and may struggle to concede over a stone to the 4-y-o TEASER whom David Pipe is clearly keen to send over larger obstacles as early as possible after making all over timber last time. Oscar Hood hasn't won since 2014 but has been extremely lightly-raced although the suggestion remains he retains a fair level of ability. Starlight Court is not ruled out but is probably just about where the handicapper wants him to be.
