Griggy has won three of his last four outings but has switched yards and been raised 7lb for his latest success at Kempton. Wee Fat Mac has gone up the same amount after landing a double at Newcastle and beat Hilary's Boy last time while Jackmeister Rudi won at Catterick earlier and placed at the same track last time. But BAYRAAT was beaten less than a length over today’s trip in novice company at Newcastle recently and with improvement expected now handicapping Tom Tate’s charge gets the vote.
