          Verdict

          Piazon posted his best effort for a while when third in soft ground at Ripon and Strategic Force has been thereabouts at Windsor of late. But Flexible Flyer remains 6lb higher than when scoring here in July and NEZAR is preferred on last month's second to Speedy Move over track and trip. Gramercy and Maybe Definitely are others to consider dropping down in class but Hoofalong is now 12lb higher than his earlier win over 5f at Pontefract so veteran Grissom makes more appeal.
