Verdict
GRANDSTAND won a handicap here under a year ago and was third dropped into this grade last time at Chepstow. He can give weight to younger rivals who have yet to show much in the way of promise so far. An Angel's Dream, one of two from the Hannon stable, may be the pick of the younger generation ahead of Irish import Somedayonedaynever.
