Port Of Grimsby Handicap Chase

Dual chase winner on soft ground during winter; seemingly on fairly tough mark now but ran well when third of five over C&D (good; about 4l behind Greenrock Abbey) a week ago and the refitted cheekpieces might squeeze out something extra today.

Made all over hurdles at Fakenham (2m7f, good) in January but has not been in the same form again since; well beaten when dropped back to 2m4f and fitted with cheekpieces (retained) this month; risky on chase debut.

Three-time chase winner (always at Sedgefield) for Chris Grant; changed hands for £9,000 after very respectable fourth at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) in March and is still on a workable mark for this stable debut; tongue-tie added.

Pulled up on chasing debut for Tom Symonds in February but was largely consistent over hurdles for him last season; makes stable debut from a workable mark and with trip/ground suitable but still needs to prove himself over fences.

Dual chase winner when trained by Kerry Lee and placed on both starts for new stable this month, latterly when very close second over C&D (good) a week ago; ought to be a tough nut to crack off the same mark today (due 1lb rise).
