      Verdict

      GRIZZLE took his time to get off the mark last year but finally did so when scoring at Lingfield in October. He'd gone close in a nursery at Haydock before that and can land his first handicap on his return. Dubai Sunshine came up a bit short on his handicap bow having won at Southwell in January and the returning The Noble Ord could prove a bigger threat with Ryan Moore on board having finished a close-up fourth at Goodwood in August. Fourth Of June should be winning this year and makes more appeal than Tight Lipped, but this is also tougher than the classified race Ghost Train won at Wolverhampton recently.
