Keith Melrose fancies an unexposed, class-dropping sprinter at Beverley

Grantley Hall
5.10 Beverley
1pt win at 11-4 generally

This race is technically a 0-70 but in practice could have been a 0-80. While it is competitive in those terms, it is not a patch on the race topweight Grantley Hall contested on her handicap debut.

That was the race at Glorious Goodwood won by Adaay In Asia, who followed up at Ascot on Saturday. An SP of 22-1 can be taken as a fair indicator of expectations that surrounded Grantley Hall, but she ran respectably and might have been closer still but for bumping the winner as that one shot through.
