        Verdict

        Grimsthorpe Castle has been in fine form here and landed a course and distance double last month. He has the beating of False Id on recent form but was beaten by FORTULTOUS (NAP) at the track earlier. The latter was in the process of running another big race when brought down at Wolverhampton last time and Tony Carroll’s charge should go close if fully recovered. Glass Of Bubbles won a seller at Leicester when last racing on the Flat while Tundra, an import from France, finished closer at Wolverhampton recently.
