Formscan - My Granny Lily appeared to relish the drop to 2m and return to hurdles when scoring with something in hand at Ffos Las last month, and a 5lb rise in the ratings looks workable for Nigel Hawke's mare. However, ACTIVIST was a touch more impressive when completing a double at Taunton recently and the five-year-old may prove to be the better handicapped of the pair. The Kim Bailey yard seems to have turned a corner, so handicap debutant Killigarth could offer up some value.
