Verdict

THE GRAFTER created a really good impression when bagging a pair of Newcastle handicaps earlier this year and can make light of a 7 lb weights rise to maintain his unbeaten record in this sphere. Risk De Pluie figures on a good mark so should ensure Sam England's upwardly-mobile sort doesn't have things all his own way. Marty McFly and Throatlash can't be discounted either.
