Debatable won on ground with some give at Yarmouth and may just have found the going too lively on a return visit. He’s up another 2lb but will get a good ride from Becky Smith. Western Way was in very good form earlier this year but over much further but Mametz Wood, who has tackled better company, has never raced over a trip this far. The lightly-raced Punkawallah has changed stables after a fair run at Wolverhampton but GRANDSCAPE looks the one to beat. A very easy winner under Sophie Smith on soft at Redcar, he has a 7lb rise to contend with on quicker going but looked progressive and can complete a double.
