      Verdict

      Novice winner Rhoscolyn ran no sort of race in the grade at York a fortnight ago when Possible Ambition was also well beaten. The former is better than that but it remains to be seen if Run This Way is up to this level having won nicely in novice company at Haydock last month. GRANTLEY ran at the same Haydock fixture and was beaten less than a length in a handicap with the re-opposing Serious Intention back in fifth. James Bethell’s charge can land this with any further progress and gets the nod.
