      Verdict

      GRENDISAR just failed to catch the winner on his handicap debut over C&D last month and Marco Botti's colt can go one better and open his account in this. Candyman Can also ran well on his latest start at Wolverhampton and should be thereabouts on his handicap bow while Run It Twice also has claims if lasting home over today's longer trip. Abraq steps back up in distance although he'll need to improve on his earlier attempt at Kempton if he's to figure while Inessa Armand makes most appeal of Stan Moore's two runners with Fergus Sweeney abandoning Rakticate.
